Bug#656313: Iceweasel FTBFS

[Rogier]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 8.0-3
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Dear Maintainer,

As the title says: iceweasel does not build.
After installation of the build dependencies, and downloading and compiling using:

	apt-get source iceweasel
	cd iceweasel-8.0
	dpkg-buildpackage -b

Compilation stops with the following messages:

	g++ -fno-rtti -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Wno-non-
virtual-dtor -Wcast-align -Wno-invalid-offsetof -Wno-variadic-macros -Werror=return-type -Wno-long-

	(END)

After adding '--disable-elf-hack' on the 'configure' command-line in debian/rules and
in xulrunner.mozconfig, it compiles fine.

I have included the list of build dependencies and versions, including some of their
dependencies that seemed relevant. If you need any more info, please ask.

Kind Regards,

Rogier.
