Emerge Firefox in Gentoo

[haxen]

firefox is known to not compile on 32bit userland which is the PPC environment. Even though it is a 64bit processor, it has a 34 bit userland. The solution is to do this:

Code:

$ setarch ppc
$ emerge mozilla-firefox



the problem is that the build scripts from firefox aren't testing if the system is 32bit or 64bit after recognizing powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu, so we have to set CHOST to powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu manually
