Compiling Mozilla 1.1 with gcc 3.2 (updated)

[Sequentious]

*UPDATE* Read down a few posts and you'll see how I (finally) got mozilla 1.1 release to compile using gcc 3.2

--

Anyone done it. From modifying the 1.1beta ebuild to downloading and trying it myself from source tarball (like in the pre-gentoo days), i cannot get mozilla 1.1 to compile using gcc 3.2. I've found lots of threads about getting plugins to work with mozilla 1.0 on gcc3.2, but i cant get that far.

my compiler flags are as follows:
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -m3dnow -mmmx"
CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -m3dnow -mmmx"

I also noticed that the 1.1beta ebuild disables the -fomit-frame-pointer flag, so when i exported my flags to try manually compiling, i left it out.

Unfortunately I am not typing this on the machine in question (due to the lack of a browser, mainly), and had also closed the terminal, so i cant remember quite where it stopped. It was NSS something, anyway. I think it may have to do with the personal security manager.

I copied the tarball to another machine and compiled with gcc 2.95, it worked fine (as one would expect).

Any help will be muchly appreciated.

ALright, as an update:

I deleted everything in /usr/portage/distfiles and /var/tmp/portage, and the modified ebuild. I then copied the ebuild again, and made the change so it grabbed "mozilla-whatever.tar.gz" instead of tar.bz2. then i made a digest for it, and sent it on its way emerging.

This time it stopped at "nsNativeAppRunner.o". I've seen this error before, but havent seen a fix (ive heard it in the context of "but once i disabled nsNativeAppRUnner ...")

Well, I got it going. If anyone else wants to know how, heres what i did:

copy mozilla-1.1_beta.ebuild to mozilla-1.1.ebuild

edit mozilla-1.1.ebuild and do the following:
-change "${MY_PV2}.tar.bz2" to "${MY_PV2}.tar.gz" (without the quotes -- just change the extension)
-find section for the "ABI compat patch for gcc-3.x" and comment out the "abi-compat-wrappers" patch a few lines below.

Mozilla 1.1 will now compile fine on gcc 3.2. My main difficulties were with that abi patch. Now that it is not applied, certain plugins wont work (flash, etc). There is a fix I read on the forums here that should fix that. I wont post it since its already on here somewhere, a search should find it.

What about Galeon? It doesn't build against Mozilla 1.1, and i've tried with the trunk use flag, but it doesn't work too :/.
