+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #975011 +++

I'm hitting this error right now when cross compiling a JS shell for ARM (--disable-threadsafe --enable-debug --enable-optimize --with-arch=armv7-a --target=arm-linux-gnueabi --without-intl-api).


running /bin/sh ../../../../nsprpub/configure  --disable-threadsafe --enable-debug --enable-optimize --with-arch=armv7-a --target=arm-linux-gnueabi --without-intl-api --with-dist-prefix=/srv/repos/mozilla-central/js/src/dbgarm/dist --with-mozilla --enable-debug --enable-optimize --with-arch=armv7-a --with-thumb=toolchain-default --with-thumb-interwork=toolchain-default --with-fpu=toolchain-default --with-float-abi=toolchain-default --with-soft-float=toolchain-default --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=../../../../nsprpub

I'm attaching the full config.log as well :)

I think the patch for bug 981481 should fix this. But you'll have to wait for bugzilla to be fixed to accept attachments again before I can post the patch. :(

I don't know how to test this locally; I don't have an "arm-linux-gnueabi" compiler lying around. This works:

../js/src/configure --disable-threadsafe --enable-debug --enable-optimize --with-arch=armv7-a --target=arm-linux-androideabi --without-intl-api --with-android-ndk=/home/sfink/Android/android-ndk-r9c

but that works with or without the patch, so it's not a valid test.
