FWIW, Thunderbird builds fine with GCC on my machine -- I'm unsure of
your reasons for setting your Portage compiler to clang, but you may
wish to use a package.env override to build Thunderbird with GCC as a
workaround until the problem can be fixed upstream.


I don't know anything about clang ... it must be the default ...

I thought part of Firefox/Thunderbird was written in Rust, so I assumed 
it was built with llvm as a matter of course.


I'll just wait for it to sort itself out.

Just to say it's finally sorted itself out without me doing anything, 
all the while causing random failures in the build chain ie I think 
Firefox and LLVM all failed along the way ...
