Hi,
I currently cannot build mozilla anymore. I get following error:

I'm using gcc-4.6

I am getting this too.  It looks more of a JS core issue than an XPConnect issue to me.  And probably a case of gcc 4.6 being pickier than previous versions.

It looks like moveRef and moveConstructor was introduced in bug 672728

Thanks Luke, for being the unholy master of C++ and writing the whole patch on my laptop.  I'll let you explain what is actually going wrong here.
According to the error message, the problem is that are trying to construct a js::Value given a const js::Value & and there is an ambiguity between Value(const Value &) and Value(Value &&) (yes, that is the C++11 "rval reference").  This is insane so I assume something in GCC is broken, either the check or the error message.  Anyhow, the patch simply fixes the fact that if you "move" from a temporary (of type const T &), you should get a MoveRef<T>, not MoveRef<const T> (otherwise, how could you steal the temporary's guts?).

Without -std=gnu++0x, the error becomes:

Is comment 6 with the patch applied?
No, it was just for reference, as the error makes more sense there. Sorry for the confusion. The patch does solve the problem for me.

Minimized test case:

    template <typename T> struct MoveRef { operator T& () {} };
    template <typename T> MoveRef <T> Move(T&) {}
    struct Thing {};
    Thing foo(const Thing* p) { return Thing(Move(*p)); }
