 A comment if it may be useful:
 
 This bug appears similar to an older
 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54757 although this time
 the function it's looking for would be the float version of
 nexttoward(3), nexttowardf(3).  NetBSD 6's libm appears to indeed be
 lacking this function.  I believe that NetBSD-6 and NetBSD-7 lack this
 function but that -current recently has it (at least according to the
 manual pages HTTP gateway).
 
 It would be possible have a patch to include a version for this
 function if it's missing (and also ask Mozilla upstream to fix it
 officially), or to backport those libm changes to NetBSD-7 and
 NetBSD-6...
