Are you sure that is used?
It is if you follow Mozilla's build instructions, which are to build with "mach". I think that doing what you did will bypass mach. I tried it and got an error further into the build regarding some missing python stuff (but I haven't installed a newer python yet, so that's not unexpected.)
Is it also necessary to install the newer GCC that you used? I haven't yet noticed that listed in the build requirements...
I initially tried it with the stock CentOS 5 gcc (v4.1.2 based) - but it failed - however, I noticed from about:buildconfig from a mozilla.org v18 install that they used a v4.5 based gcc, so I tried the nearest version available on CentOS 5 - which is from the gcc44 RPM - and that worked
ah. thanks for the tip.
Is it safe to assume that GCC44 installs and can be used separately from the one that comes with the system?
