Actual Results:  
compile fails

Expected Results:  
compile

i've solved this error simply changing in file:
nsprpub/pr/src/linking/prlink.c
on line 65:
#ifdef XP_UNIX
with:
#if defined(XP_UNIX) || defined(LINUX)

Comment 1

[Andrew Schultz]

XP_UNIX should be defined on linux.  are you cross-compiling?

The first few lines running configure should look like:
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

The NSPR portion of the build completes for me with those build options.  I
don't believe those options will get you a thunderbird build anyway.  You'll
need to use the instructions from
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/build.html .
