- Check for undefined/null regex flags (because...)
- Make it throw a typeerror instead of syntax error on non-global
- Generalize JS error messages for these checks.
This should do it for all the commits to files I changed, but while I'm in here I could probably go ahead and turn ALL the singular if defined statements into ifdef statements by using grep/find on the tree. On the other hand, perhaps we should do that as a separate issue so that this doesn't become a case of scope creep.
This fix is a bit ugly and may need to be changed later if we switch a new GCC version, but the fact is that we use an architecture-specific path for GCC libraries on Solaris, so knowing the right prefix for GCC would only help so much, because it would still need to decide between ${gccdir}/lib and ${gccdir}/lib/amd64. The MOZ_FIX_LINK_PATHS variable puts the search paths into the right order without the need for me to use elfedit on the binaries afterwards.

Setting this up turned out to be easier than I thought it would be. All I had to do was apply these instructions in reverse and add the following to my .mozconfig file:
CC="gcc -m64"
CXX="g++ -m64"
AS="gas --64"
ac_add_options --target=x86_64-pc-solaris2.11
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/amd64/pkgconfig
ac_add_options --libdir=/usr/lib/amd64
ac_add_options --x-libraries=/usr/lib/amd64
Most of these changes were fairly trivial, just requiring me to make a few of the changes I made earlier conditional on a 32-bit build. The biggest challenge was figuring out why the JavaScript engine triggered a segfault everytime it tried to allocate memory. But this patch fixes it:
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/web/firefox/patches/patch-js_src_gc_Memory.cpp.patch
Turns out that Solaris on AMD64 handles memory management in a fairly unusual way with a segmented memory model, but it's not that different from what we see on other 64-bit processors. In fact, I saw a SPARC crash for a similar reason, and noticed that it looked just like mine except the numbers in the first segment were reversed. Having played around with hex editors before, I had a feeling I might be dealing with a little-endian version of a big-endian problem, but I didn't expect that knowledge to actually yield an easy solution.

As far as I can tell, this was the last barrier to an AMD64 Solaris build of Pale Moon.

The libxul.so fix was implemented by Mozilla in Firefox 57 and personally recommended to me by an Oracle employee on the OpenIndiana mailing list. It can easily be made ifdef XP_SOLARIS, but it seems like the new way is considered a better solution overall by the original author of the code that had it use that null pointer hack to begin with.
I can't link where I found the fix for libffi because I came up with it myself while looking at the way sysv.S does things. Something clicked in my brain while reading that mindfruit link above, though, and gave me enough of a sense of what was going on to be able to fix libffi.
The libffi fix looks a bit hairy because of all the FDE_ENCODE statements, but if you examine the code closely, you should find that it does exactly what it did before on all platforms besides Solaris. I later discovered that people who originally ported Firefox to Solaris never figured this out during the Firefox 52 era and had to use GNU LD for linking libxul.so while using the Sun LD for the rest of the build to make it work. For whatever reason, it works for me now without the GNU LD trick.

I assess this change to be low-risk for the following reasons:
1. It has been in Firefox since version 55 without issues.
2. It's nearly identical to the fix for bug 1309157 which is already in our tree, so that one would be causing problems if this one were going to.
3. Linux, Windows, and BSD are known to have a hypot function in their math libraries.
4. Even if it does break something, it should only break a test and not critical functionality.

Mozilla patch that's been in the code since Firefox 55. Seems like there have been no ill effects from implementing it, and it would only increase the portability of the UXP code. All the Solaris Firefox repos I've seen implement some variation on the jsexn patch, and this seems to be the cleanest version of it.
I can add ifdefs if needed or there are performance concerns associated with this patch, but I get the impression this alignment backlog issue might affect a few platforms other than Solaris, though none were named. Otherwise I think they wouldn't have used "platforms that need it" in plural form or failed to ifdef it.
Compared with what Pale Moon had for Solaris originally, this is mostly the same zero point I started patching from, but I've made the following changes here after reviewing all this initial code I never looked at closely before.
1. In package-manifest.in for both Basilisk and Pale Moon, I've made the SPARC code for libfreebl not interefere with the x86 code, use the proper build flags, and also updated it to allow a SPARC64 build which is more likely to be used than the 32-bit SPARC code we had there.
2. See Mozilla bug #832272 and the old rules.mk patch from around Firefox 30 in oracle/solaris-userland. I believe they screwed up NSINSTALL on Solaris when they were trying to streamline the NSS buildsystem, because they started having unexplained issues with it around that time after Firefox 22 that they never properly resolved until Mozilla began building NSS with gyp files. I'm actually not even sure how relevant the thing they broke actually is to Solaris at this point, bug 665509 is so old it predates Firefox itself and goes back to the Mozilla suite days. I believe $(INSTALL) -t was wrong, and they meant $(NSINSTALL) -t because that makes more sense and is closer to what was there originally. It's what they have for WINNT, and it's possible a fix more like that could serve for Solaris as well. Alternatively, we could get rid of all these half-broken Makefiles and start building NSS with gyp files like Mozilla did.
3. I've completely cut out support for the Sun compiler and taken into account the reality that everyone builds Firefox (and therefore its forks) with GCC now on Solaris. This alone helped clean up a lot of the uglier parts of the code.
4. I've updated all remaining SOLARIS build flags to the newer XP_SOLARIS, because the SOLARIS flag is no longer set when building Solaris.
5. I've confirmed the workaround in gtxFontconfigFonts.cpp is no longer necessary. The Solaris people got impatient about implementing a half-baked patch for a fontconfig feature that wasn't ready yet back in 2009, and somehow convinced Mozilla to patch their software to work around it when really they should have just fixed or removed their broken fontconfig patch. The feature they wanted has since been implemented properly, and no version of Solaris still uses the broken patch that required this fix. If anyone had ever properly audited this code, it would have been removed a long time ago.
This removes a ton of tests that are no longer relevant with (un)watch
removed (e.g. testing stability/bugs in the watchpoint system itself
which has never been the most stable), and updates others that would
previously rely on watch/unwatch, so that they don't unexpectedly fail.
This fixes a rare crash/CTD in JS.
This adds information about the constraints to a new RAII class so we
can finish all constraints at the end.

This was a small mistake when converting from the `hasOwn()` function format (swapped parameters). Fixing this properly makes rest parameters exclude the parameters that are defined (which is the whole point of `...rest`
