After digging inside I found that the problem seem to be an ARM

problem. In the FireFox build there is a call for the RPM script find-requires (part of the RPM package). This script goes over all binaries and extracts the libraries (and

things) from each binary using the 'objdump -p' command. Doing so for an example binary provides the following output - main: file format elf32-littlearm Program Header: 0x70000001 off 0x00000d5c vaddr 0x00008d5c paddr 0x00008d5c align 2**2 filesz 0x00000018 memsz 0x00000018 flags r-- ........ Version References: required from libgcc_s.so.1: 0x0b792655 0x00 03 GCC_3.5 required from libc.so.6: 0x0d696914 0x00 02 GLIBC_2.4 private flags = 4000002: [Version4 EABI] [has entry point] And the problem is actually in the "private flags" line where the

mistakenly thinks its part of the dependency. I fixed that temporarily in the find-requires file and I'm now rebuilding firefox --> tomorrow I'll let you know if it finally fixed this problem. The patch for fixing find-requires is - --- /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-requires.orig 2007-10-03 02:58:19.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/find-requires 2007-10-03 03:13:14.000000000 +0200 @@ -95,7 +95,7 @@ [ -r $f ] || continue lib64=`if file -L $f 2>/dev/null | \ grep "ELF 64-bit" >/dev/null; then echo "$mark64"; fi` - $OBJDUMP -p $f | awk 'BEGIN { START=0; LIBNAME=""; needed='$needed'; } + $OBJDUMP -p $f | grep -v "private flags =" | awk 'BEGIN {
