Yes, thanks, those are g++ compiler error messages. I could track |
| 15 |
down and fix the problem in the source code, but since it's a "stable" |
| 16 |
system, and firefox builds fine on other systems, I should have to do |
| 17 |
that. |

Yep, I'm using gcc-5.4.0-r3. There were 20+ other packages that got |

built in that same upgrade, and they all went fine. |

I was afraid it might be failing RAM, but a second attempt failed in |
| 31 |
exactly the same way. I guess I'll delete the ebuild files and the |
| 32 |
source tarball to force a download and then try again. |
