Can you post the outputs referenced above/the full build log and your
portage configuration?

Having followed this list for quite a while, my first guess whenever
someone fails to compile a web browser or similar heavy piece of
software (I'm counting Thunderbird here) is that they ran out of memory.
 I would double check your MAKEOPTS and RAM size and try building with a
smaller -j.  But as noted above, perhaps if you attach the full build
log for Thunderbird, a more obvious cause will appear in the output.
