The ./configure script was called as follows:

--prefix=INSTALL/ --enable-application=mail --enable-ui-locale=de --enable-pango

Reproducible: Always

Don't know what the problem is, but this is not the place to ask build questions. You may have better luck in the news. 

There should be nothing wrong with the code, as we build and ship 2.0.0.6...

Might be some config option you have to set, or not. Set the mail start page to about:buildconfig to see the "official" build options, and go from there.

->INVALID (not a bug report). But do report back what the problem was.

Actually it's a bug in combination of newer gcc and mozilla code.
