Has anyone managed to emerge mozilla 1.7b?

When I run 'emerge net-www/mozilla/mozilla-1.7_beta-r1.ebuild' it fails trying to apply mozilla-1.4-amd64.patch

* Failed Patch: mozilla-1.4-amd64.patch!
*
* Include in your bugreport the contents of:
*
* /var/tmp/portage/mozilla-1.7_beta-r1/temp/mozilla-1.4-amd64.patch-7908.out

It looks like the output file is suggesting the patch file cannot find any files to patch.

Any ideas?

If I remember right (I did this a week or more ago), you just have to apply the patch to the 1.4 patch in the files dir and emerge mozilla.

Have updated the bug with a modified patch to make the 1.7_beta-r1 build & run.
Same setup as with cricalix's patch - apply to the mozilla-1.4-amd64.patch before merging mozilla
