In http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2007-June/031712.html John David Anglin identified the backport for 20218 as cause for the failure for #428509. #428582 isn't seen anymore on FC's 4.1 branch, but with a different configuration for xulrunner. see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367208
