I also saw no issues with my amd64 machines running -8.  The problem seems to
be isolated to i386.  There is a bit of assembler code with C fallbacks that
may not be getting switched in properly.  This may not be the source of the
problem.

What's notable is that the make phase runs fine.  It's only when make install
is run, that missing files are discovered.  I've looked at the code a bit,
this package is one of the relatively hairy ones, so far no joy.  I did try it
with PKG_DEVELOPER=yes.  I'm not much of an autotools guy, so it's slow going.

I'm a little worried that folks are giving up on the i386, I hope not.  I still
have an old ThinkPad that I'd like to run a browser on.
