10 Thunderbird-6 builds now. The problem was too little tmpfs space
11 and the USE="-alsa" flag.
12
13 The new question is why is alsa required for the build to succeed?
14
15 I don't follow thunderbird development but there is a previous bug
16 report on this (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308363)
17 and there is also a "noalsa-fixup" patch in the current portage tree.
18
19 Also, from the gentoo Changelog:
20
21 21 Oct 2010; Jory A. Pratt <anarchy@g.o> thunderbird-3.1.5.ebuild,
22 +files/bug-606109.patch:
23 Address build failure with -alsa
24
25 Anyway, I'll use thunderbird with alsa until I can find more about this.
