245116 - non-static Firefox built in OS X.3 crashes in OS X.2

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 232972

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Martin Creutziger [:MMx]]

UA: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a2)
Gecko/20040530 Firefox/0.8.0+ (MMx)

I built some trunk nighties of Firefox lately and I got the feedback that it
crashes at startup on OS X.2.8. I tracked it down to the point that it does not
happen with static builds, only with non-static.
From the console output I get it looks that there are some symbols used that OS
X.2 das not have, so dyld fails to prebind.

Steps to reproduce:
1. build Firefox from CVS in 10.3, using default mozconfig and "--disable-debug
--disable-test --enable-optimze=-O2"
2. run it in 10.2

Result: it crashes on startup, generating console output and crashlog

expected: prebind correctly and start up

Additional information:
console output:

How is it in the case where --with-macos-sdk is attached?
Although Installation of 10.2.8SDK is Also Needed...

[HARUNAGA Hirotoshi]

Yes, you need to install Mac OS X 10.2.8 SDK by Xcode custom install,
and use --with-macos-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.2.8.sdk like as 
official builds.
