With the removal of gcc4 you've probably lost libstdc++.so.6, which
could cause these kinds of errors. You could try removing gcc3 and
reinstalling gcc 4.1.2 and see if Firefox works again. In order to
have an installation for compiling QEMU, it would be easier to create
a Slackintosh 12.0 chroot, parallel installation or virtual machine in
Mac on Linux (doesn't work at the moment).
I'm having the same problem building QEMU on Slackware 12.0,
Bluewhite64 12.0, MIPS and SPARC (no PPC at the moment), but I just
create chroots with GCC 3.4.6 installed and use those to build QEMU.
That works very well, without the potential for messing up the primary
installations.
