It might be related to GCC. I'm not running 4.2R yet, so I can't comment
on whether or not changes are needed, but look at
	mozilla/xpcom/reflect/xptcall/src/md/unix/
(and, in particular, xptc_platforms_unixish_x86.h)

This may or may not help; as I said, I can't test it, but Mozilla's
xpcom is extremely reliant on the layout of the vtable's that GCC
generates differently between releases, and I noticed an update to the
GCC C++ support in the release notes of 4.2R.

If the only tool you've got is an axe, every problem looks like fun!
