yep, narrow down to the smallest amount.

I still have everything setup(if you need me to add a debug patch
let me know)
as for compiling: libc compiled fine, kernel fine,
and every package on the clfs list up to boot up the fresh system.
(was figuring out how to compiling/install firefox before
  I threw the old system away).

stable gcc(4.4*) on the macbook(same os/kernel) compiled fine
firefox, xulrunner, and in the process thunderbird...
