It turns out the problem is that libxul.so, libmozalloc.so and libmozsqlite3.so don't have an soname.

And this is due to --enable-wrap-malloc.

I don't really understand what's broken here. Can you expound?

(In reply to comment #5) > I don't really understand what's broken here. Can you expound? The DT_NEEDED entries in libxul.so and libxpcom.so contain paths (to the dist directory) instead of sonames for libxul.so, libmozsqlite3 and libmozalloc.so. DT_NEEDED is what the dynamic linker uses to know what libraries to load. It searches the DT_NEEDED values in the ld.so.config paths and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I haven't looked why exactly it doesn't care about the fact that some values contain a path already. I'd actually expect something similar to fail on a desktop environment. This happens because these libraries are linked without the necessary -Wl,-h,$SONAME option passed to the linker, and this in turn happens because --enable-wrap-malloc resets the MKSHLIB value instead of adding what it wants to it.
