Building with mudflap support needs the -fmudflapth C/CXXFLAGS (for threaded
apps) and an -lmudflapth LDFLAG.
Attached patch patch for testing (obsolete) — — Splinter Review 
The following occurs when xpidl is run during build:

../../dist/bin/xpidl -m header -w -I/home/baafie/src/mozilla/xpcom/base
-I../../dist/idl -o _xpidlgen/nsIConsoleListener
/home/baafie/src/mozilla/xpcom/base/nsIConsoleListener.idl
../../dist/bin/xpidl: symbol lookup error: /opt/gcc-4.1/lib/libmudflapth.so.0:
undefined symbol: main

I'm not sure if this is caused by xpidl, mudflap or my patch, but my suspicions
do exist in that order :)
