Details

If you build FF/TB with Clang in i386, than it stops with the below error. This is an integrated assembler bug, but for llvm with very low priority. So a workaround would be nice, until llvm will support it. As you can read in Comment 2:
> A work around would be to use a "wait" instruction before the "fnstcw"
> instruction, which is the same as the "fstcw".

The error is:
/Volumes/Developer/temp/src/mozilla/js/src/jscntxt.h:2213:14: warning: 
      unknown pragma ignored [-Wunknown-pragmas]

This should now be fixed in clang since r115015 (didn't test it):
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=7557#c5
So we don't need a workaround anymore.
