I was able to build xulrunner-12.0-1.fc17 on powerpc:
http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=512647

I used the patches #580226, #580229 and #580231 to build xulrunner on powerpc. It was not needed to build successfully, but I also used in my scratch build Martin's patch posted here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746112

firefox-12.0-1.fc17 built with no issues.

I tested the built packages on ppc64 and it works as good as [xulrunner|firefox]-10.0-1.fc17.

If you are interested, I have also xulrunner-11.0-3.fc17 version of these patches.

"it works as good as [xulrunner|firefox]-10.0-1.fc17" - so does it freeze or not? (Bug 813095).

Yes, it does :(

The patch should be included in Firefox 15.

The changes are committed to master branch in Fedora and a scratch build is at http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=535816
Marting will update F<=17 branches later.

Still consumes 100% CPU while executing jscripts. If I switch to safe mode it starts at least.

I wonder can we borrow some PPC-related patches from TenFourFox project. I'm using it on a daily basis and it works good.

The bug on PPC/Fedora17 is cuased by broken gcc47 on ppc. The firefox version is not related here.

It should be already fixed on F17.
