when trying to build the latest firefox cvs tree I see:

"/export/willf/src/mozilla/cvs/mozilla/xpcom/glue/nsGREGlue.cpp", line 472:
Error: A class with a reference member must have a user-defined constructor.
"/export/willf/src/mozilla/cvs/mozilla/xpcom/glue/nsGREGlue.cpp", line 523:
Error: Expected an expression.
"/export/willf/src/mozilla/cvs/mozilla/xpcom/glue/nsGREGlue.cpp", line 529:
Error: Use ";" to terminate statements.
3 Error(s) detected.
gmake[4]: *** [nsGREGlue.o] Error 3

I will attach the full build output.  Note this started happening when I tried
to build cvs a couple weeks ago.

Reproducible: Always

Please search for duplicates before filing; this is easily findable.

Well, I did search for any bug that had nsGREGlue.cpp and I did not see any that
described a build breakage.  But I appreciate the tip that this is easily
findable. Next time I'll assume the bug has already been reported and I'll keep
it to myself.

Oh, I assume y'all have found the buffer overflow I discovered via libumem.

If "breaks build" doesn't describe a lack of compilation, I don't know what
does.  Bug reports are appreciated; please do file the buffer overflow you found
as a separate bug, too.

Sorry, I was just irritated by the comment implying that I did not search for a
matching bug before I opened this bug.  I suggest that you modify your response
for duplicate bugs so as to avoid that implication.
