That looks like a change in how the compiler treats bad code, or the introduction of bad code in an updated version of Firefox. The compiler can't sanely do pointer arithmetic without knowing the pointer type. Looks like the version you're compiling with throws an error on that. Are using anything like -Werror and/or -Wall in your CFLAGS? -- :wq
