190884 - FreeBSD requires -Bsymbolic for compatibility with GTK 2 and Xft

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; FreeBSD i386; U;) Gecko/0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; FreeBSD i386; U;) Gecko/0

If Mozilla is linked without -Bsymbolic on FreeBSD, most things work as
expected.  However, if the browser is built with GTK2 and Xft support, there are
symbol clashes (namely with Xft1 and Xft2 or with expat).  Both Linux and NetBSD
already use this option.

The one downside to enabling this is that a lot of "unresolved symbol" messages
are printed while building.  These appear to be harmless as the finished product
can resolve all the symbols.

This patch has been tested on FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE as well as 5.0-RELEASE, and
-CURRENT.
