Hi!

Thunderbird currently fails to build from source on sh4 because it
tries to build with PIE enabled which is currently disabled in the
toolchain on sh4 as some packages segfault when built with PIE.

Without passing --disable-pie for sh4, the build fails at the configure
stage:

configure: error: --enable-pie requires PIE support from the linker.

This is fixed by adding "--disable-pie" to ac_add_options for sh4 in debian/mozconfig.default. I am attaching a patch for this change.

Thanks,
Adrian
