443079 - Updater needs pthread_join() even though I am building --without-pthreads

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[Dimitrios Apostolou]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061712 Fedora/3.0-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: firefox 3.0 rc1

While trying to build firefox3 I get the following linker error, in the toolkit/mozapps/update/src/updater directory. Even though my platform is unusual (Irix) and I am facing many other problems, I think it shouldn't happen because I am using "--without-pthreads". 

ld32: ERROR 33: Unresolved text symbol "pthread_join" -- 1st referenced by updater.o.


I am now trying to rebuild with --disable-updater, but I think this is a bug so I'm reporting it.

My platform: ArchLinux x86_64. I confirm this bug on recent mozilla-1.9.2 from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.8/source/firefox-3.6.8.source.tar.bz2.

.mozconfig attached.

The error:

--without-pthreads is no longer a valid option so resolving as wontfix
