User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS i86pc; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030206

Using GCC 3.3 and building the Mozilla executable by doing a gmake -f client.mk
build,
the process dies with an error message from as.  I am using GCC 3.3 downloaded
from sunfreeware
(ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/intel/9/gcc-3.3-sol9-intel-local.gz),
which appears to invoke the native as found in /usr/ccs/bin.

Changing out the as for gnu's as results in an similar failure,
with a complaint about a different flag not being understood.

I realise you guys may not be able to do anything about this,
but at least felt you should be advised as to the problem.

Did gcc drop support for stabs?
-> NSPR

Comment 2

[Julien Pierre]

The current versions of NSPR, 4.6.7, builds correctly on current gcc 3.4.3 on current Solaris 10 x86. Marking WORKSFORME.

This bug may have been fixed by the patch in bug 259001.
