Attached file Build Error
When building Thunderbird with debugging enabled in Linux (Gentoo 2008 x86_64) I get the error shown in the attachment as of this morning.

Neil and jcranmer in IRC mentioned REQUIRES being incorrect in the mime makefile, so when I followed jcranmer's suggestion to add mailnews to REQUIRES in mime/build/Makefile.in I was able to build Thunderbird.  I can also build if I disable debugging.
IanN mentioned a similar problem in bug 366482 comment 14 - but in fact the patch of bug 366482 *is* the cause of this bug here:

summary:     Bug 366482 – "Edit as new" for opened eml files results in a broken compose window
=> doesn't compile with new objdir

summary:     Followup nits from bug 297534 (Want to entirely disable marking a message as read when viewed), sr=neil
=> still compiles with new objdir
This makes /mime build again in my debug build. Since I don't do non-debug builds but IanN does, letting him have a look as well.

It's good that this fixes the issue but it would be good to know why a debug build requires this and a non-debug doesn't. Which bit of code is switched on in a debug build?

Maybe we could figure out how to stuff the missing symbols into the msgbase lib, so that this fix here and yours in bug 366482 for cthandler are unnecessary?
Making them depend on /mailnews is rather messy...

add building mailnews/ as a requirement to mime (band-aid fix until bug 451988 fixes it for real)

Don't forget that non-debug builds default to static mail.
