OK, I've tracked it down a bit further. At that point in the build,
firefox is trying to link (amongst other things) libnss3.so.

Fifefox has already created that lib, and it lives here:

work/firefox/main.d/mozilla/dist/lib/libnss3.so
work/firefox/main.d/mozilla/security/nss/lib/nss/Linux2.6_x86_64_glibc_PTH_64_OPT.OBJ/libnss3.so

But it that's not indicated by any -L entries, so the linker picks up
an old one from my base OS in /usr/lib64.

I've just hacked around it by adding the lib that contains libnss3.so
to LDFLAGS, but that's a bit ugly.


Incidentally, I have made one change to gar.conf.mk:

    #LDFLAGS += -Wl,--export-dynamic -L$(libdir)
    LDFLAGS += -L$(libdir)

If I don't do this, the firefox build dies much earlier. I think this
is only relevant to x86_64 builds. The error message is below, in case
someone else has already resolved it ...

Thanks,
