FWIW, it doesn't work with what we have in debian. Maybe with gcc-4.5, but definitely not with gcc-4.4. All I get from the first build pass (the one with instrumentation) is a crash in strlen at startup: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ffff40807c1 in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0x00007ffff40807c1 in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ffff6823a92 in __gcov_init () from /tmp/xulrunner/dist/bin/libxul.so #2 0x00007ffff6824f56 in __do_global_ctors_aux () from /tmp/xulrunner/dist/bin/libxul.so #3 0x00007ffff51888ab in _init () from /tmp/xulrunner/dist/bin/libxul.so #4 0x00007fffffffe908 in ??
