Details

the configure script does not detect machines that use gcc as their native c++
compiler, and instead tries to use a (non-existant) g++.

fixed on the system by symlinking, so trivial. but should be checked

accepted bug.

Product: Browser → NSPR
Version: other → 3.5
Actually, the autoconf check for the c++ does this:
        AC_CHECK_PROGS(HOST_CXX, $CCC c++ g++ gcc CC cxx cc++ cl, "")
so it should use either g++ or gcc.
NSPR, on the other hand, hardcodes g++.  You can try --enable-nspr-autoconf when
building Mozilla but it hasn't been tested on all platforms.
Reassigning to NSPR.
