The crucial patches that allow Mozilla to compile in Haiku have
recently been submitted :
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418487

However, they are not yet ready to receive review, approval, or commit.
With mmlr's recent gcc4 work, it would be nice for the patch to be
tested with it prior to starting the commit-process.


From http://community.livejournal.com/bezilla/288900.html :
A patch that increases stability, quality and speed of Mozilla was
rejected on the sole argument that they don't like a structure in the
OLD Mozilla-code (and I[, tqh] don't change it structurally).

Even though this patch is not mission-critical to a working Haiku build,
it improves the build to the point where we want it included in all
distributions.
