Bug Description
This is blocking publication of Firefox 39.
The build for x86 on 12.04 currently crashes on startup, or within a few seconds of startup. It's basically unusable. An example crash report is: https:/
Unfortunately, despite the warning in the PPA description for https:/
It works on all other releases and on Precise/x86-64. I did test Firefox 39 with this toolchain when it was still the nightly version whilst preparing the switch to GCC 4.8, and it worked fine.

I've tried this now with binutils 2.24 from Trusty (which produced a good build), and also the gold linker in Precise and I get the same issue. So it looks like this is specific to the compiler.
