I'm getting this error while trying to compile Mozilla FireFox 1.5.0.2
on Ubuntu 6.0.6.

Here's the output generated by 'make' at this point...

http://www.cygwin.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1025 seems to be very
similar, but it was patched months ago according to the comments.

If you could cc me in any discussion of this, I'd be grateful.
