An even better way to solve this is to apply the final patch of the bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284386). If you are wondering why the problem still happens even if the bug is fixed, it is because gnome retrieve mozilla from a more stable branch than CVS HEAD of mozilla. So on this branch, the bug is still there, but should be fixed when a new stable developping branch will be released.

Explanation:

The bug concerned seems to be : GCC4.0 - relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `memcpy@@GLIBC_2.2.5′ can not be used.

The bug still present with GCC 4.2 in Feisty.

Solution:

http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/blog/2005-10-27/gcc-40-workaround/

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/102518/

You can run apt-get -b source firefox and move firefox-2.0.0.12+2nobinonly+2/build-tree/mozilla in your jhbuild checkout directory.

Error - Package xft was not found in the pkg-config search path

Stage: Configure

checking for xft... Package xft was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xft.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'xft' found
configure: error: Library requirements (xft) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

Cause: Development headers for xft are missing.

Solution: Install libxft-dev

Cause: X11 and Xrender libraries missing in command line.

Solution: Add

EXTRA_DSO_LDOPTS += \
                -lXrender \
                -lX11 \
                $(NULL)

in the local Makefile (mozilla/layout/build/Makefile). It isn't the best way for a long time, but it'is working. If somebody have a proper solution...

Solution: Use gcc instead of colorgcc, and make instead of colormake !
