I was just going to post a message regarding this package
(wip/firefox2); how serendipitous, heh.

I've tried to build firefox2 on NetBSD/amd64 before and have had
problems with it complaining about needing -fPIC. Problem is, that
option was already specified.

It just occurred to me now that on amd64, gcc 3.4 is needed to build
www/firefox.  Is this the case for firefox2 as well? If so, and if you
are going to import the package from wip, I believe this may be
required.

Cheers,
