Source: iceweasel
Version: 10.0.3esr-3
Severity: important
User: debian-s390 at lists.debian.org
Usertags: s390x

iceweasel currently fails to build from source:

This failure is reproducible and happens when xpcshell is invoked.  Aurélien
pinned it down to a failure with jemalloc, as the build completes successfully
with --disable-jemalloc.  zelenka, the s390 porterbox, does have a s390x chroot
as sid_s390x.  Fedora apparently disabled jemalloc in response to this problem.

Aurélien further found this:

10:25 <aurel32> what i know about jemalloc so far:
10:25 <aurel32> - it works with version 7
10:25 <aurel32> - it doesn't with version 8
10:26 <aurel32> - using the jemalloc from version 8 in firefox 7 still works
10:26 <aurel32> - building with --disable-jemalloc make firefox working

Mike, is disabling jemalloc to make it build an option or would you prefer to
dig into the problem?

Currently iceweasel is blocking the rebuild of libproxy, which is the only
initially imported package left.

Kind regards
