Building Mozilla/1.4b exactly the same way as usual... read
  ftp://depot.mcom.com/pub/pioch/mozilla-1.4b/README
for full details

Whereas it always worked for previous releases (since 1.2a), it doesn't anymore:
at startup, mozilla creates
  components/compreg.dat
  components/xpti.dat

but then exits and never creates
  chrome/chrome.rdf
  chrome/overlayinfo/

Debugging with:
export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=all:5

finishes with:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
Mozilla should start

Expected Results:  
Mozilla exits

Above tests were reproduced on an account that had no existing profile
(no $HOME/.mozilla directory)

PS: this is a default, vanilla Mozilla/1.4b install,
nothing else is added (zero plugins), esp. no JAVA plugin (which I never install)

The reference to application/x-java-vm must be due to Mozilla itself:

1[65c90]: nsPluginHostImpl::GetPluginFactory End mime=application/x-java-vm,

Does mozilla still fail if you do a % mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_disabled # to
ensure it starts with no profile ?

2nd question:
Does
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.4b/mozilla-sparc-sun-solaris2.7-1.4b.tar.gz
work for you (with/without having a preexisting ~/.mozilla) ?

Re: comment 2 above,

check last two lines of my bug submission :-)
quoting:

Above tests were reproduced on an account that had no existing profile
(no $HOME/.mozilla directory)

Re: comment 3 above,
If the solaris build posted on ftp.mozilla.org has been built with
Sun WorkShop/Forte, remember that GCC users such as myself who built
supporting C libraries such as glibc/gtk+/etc. cannot run it
since you explained me earlier that
  GCC-compiled binaries could use GCC-built or Sun WorkShop-built shared libs
  but Sun WorkShop-built binaries could ONLY use Sun WorkShop-built shared libs

Cheers -- Nicolas

Nevermind!

I tried the build you point at above and it does work! Well done!
How is that miracle possible?

Unfortunately the tar file you point at above has Unix permissions all screwed up:
all files are missing the other "R"ead and e"X"ecute bits,
so when you untar this file (as non-root user for security)
since the default is to restore permissions, you end up with a mozilla install
that is all screwed up and unusable by all non-root users on the system
until you go and fix permissions manually :-/

Erm, is it possible that you have a umask like 077 ? :)
"tar" (and nearly all other unix/linux tools) masks the permissions of files it
creates while unpacking using the "umask" mask ...

You can fix the problem after unpacking with a simple % chmod -R og=u,og-w
mozilla # :)

Nope, my umask is 022,
and the solaris-sparc distribution posted on ftp.mozilla.org is indeed
incorrectly packaged. Proof:

etc.

Extract from the tar manual page "man tar", at option -p:

     p     Restore the named files to their original  modes,  and
           ACLs  if  applicable,  ignoring  the present umask(1).
           This is the default behavior if invoked as  super-user
           with  the  x function letter specified. If super-user,
           SETUID and sticky information are also extracted,  and
           files are restored with their original owners and per-
           missions, rather than owned by root. 

i.e. if you extract as root, broken permissions from inside this incorrectly
packaged tar file will be restored.

OK, tarball permission problem fixed (via hacking the build script... ;-/ ) ...

Mozilla 1.4rc3 when built with gcc 3.3 doesn't start either.

Here's an updated NSPR_LOG_MODULES=all:5 log with Mozilla 1.4rc3 built with GCC
3.3, after moving away the libnullplugin.so file as suggested by Jim Dunn to
prevent bug 204804

running on an empty profile directory

Files/directories which got created:
  components/compreg.dat
  components/xpti.dat
  $HOME/.mozilla
  $HOME/.mozilla/appreg
  $HOME/.mozilla/default

but then Mozilla exits and never creates
  chrome/chrome.rdf
  chrome/overlayinfo/

Ok, now I've built 1.6a successfully both with gcc3.3.2@solaris8 and
gcc3.3@solaris9. Optimized with "-02 -mv8". No problem at all. 

In both test, I built glib, gtk+ and libIDL with the same compiler just to be
certain. I even got rid of a crash when using the composer that only surfaced if
built with gcc2.95...

I don't know any good way to speed-test, otherwise a comparison with the
Forte7-build would have been fun. :)

At least in my case, this could now be closed as WFM.
