If i search my bmake console output, i see, that these libraries are
included for linking two times, presumably resulting in the above
error:

/usr/pkgsrc/www/firefox52/work/firefox-52.9.0esr/config/rules.mk:903:
target 'xptcinvoke_asm_sparc_linux_GCC3.o' given more than once in the
same rule

../../build/unix/gold/ld: error:

Unfortunately the linking seems to be done via python and the process
uses a temporary file to record object-files which instantly gets
deleted on failure.

So for now i have no idea why this is happening and where i could
start to fix it.
I might try some different configure options, but currently i have no
exact clue.
