Details

I am building my extension for Intel Mac and ran into this problem: "Incompatible Extension ... not installed because it is not compatible with your Firefox build type (Darwin_x86-gcc3)..." Firefox 1.5.0.3 (universal binary) is advertising a target platform of Darwin_x86-gcc3 even though about:buildconfig confirms it was built with gcc4 on Intel Mac. This seems wrong. Is this intentional? Is it possible to fix this in 1.5.0.4?
This is a non-bug. gcc3 refers to compiler ABI for xptcall's purposes, and does not distinguish between gcc 3.x and 4.x. http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XPCOM_ABI
