Thank you for your effort, but i think this will lead to the same outcome.

I have also tried the package from
https://pkgsrc.zia.io/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/sparc64/9.0_2022Q4/All/
with the same crash result.

After that  i have bootstrapped pkgsrc-2020Q4 into a different
directory and built the complete dependency chain to build
firefox52-52.9.0nb32.tgz
This firefox52 works and tells me that the base system of NetBSD 9.3
is not the root cause.

Unfortunately i don't know how to debug and identify the problem further.

Regards,
Connor
