I was trying to build firefox 10.0.2 the other day but the 
glib2/gobject-introspection failures prevented me from getting there.

It's not a "problem" with gcc 4.4.7.  Between gcc 4.1 and 4.4, the 
handling of hidden symbols changed.  If a symbol is not exported (e.g 
visibility set to hidden) then gcc 4.4 isn't going accept it while gcc 
4.1 didn't complain.

I haven't dug into the problem but presumably the kvm library may need 
adjusting to make the symbol visible.
