Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Keeping this on my radar. Since this morning (today is 18/3/11), all Mozilla packages (firefox/thunderbird + extensions I'm working on) started failing to build successfully, with weird issues like this:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/66632904/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-amd64.thunderbird-3.3_3.3~a4~hg20110317r7365%2Bnobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

This is blocking the upload of Firefox 4.0 RC2 (which is going to be the final release from 22nd)

Ok, eglibc 2.13-0ubuntu6 broke this. Downgrading fixes it

This is a make bug which seems to be exposed with mutli-arch. I'm attaching a minimal test-case which demonstrates the problem that the firefox build hits.

The "-lm" dependency of the all target gets expanded by make to /usr/lib/libm.so. This no longer works now that some libs are in /usr/lib/<arch>

This bug was fixed in the package make-dfsg - 3.81-8ubuntu1

---------------
make-dfsg (3.81-8ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * remake.c, configure.in: prepend multiarch paths to the library path in
    library_search() when we have a target dependency of '-lfoo', so that
    this still works when all our libraries are moving to multiarch library
    directories. LP: #737641.
