Well, Severn, which is what I referred to above, is mostly compiled with
gcc 3.3, and Red Hat Linux 9 is compiled with gcc 3.2.  I don't know
enough about compiler stuff to know if that will cause problems in
Mozilla or not, but it certainly could.  For something small like GnuPG
I would most certainly rebuild from SRPM to avoid any possible problems
from this.

Did you try rebuilding from source RPM?  That's not necessarily going to
be quick for Mozilla though.  I have been using the binary packages,
however (from a few weeks back, mozilla-1.4-11) and it works fine for
me.
