needed for some soap issue in spidermonkey (I think)
Linux raspberrypi 3.2.27+ #66 PREEMPT Fri Aug 24 23:52:42 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux I think armv6l is the issue

this I found instructive

Yes, just libmozjs, I extracted the tar and edited js/src/configure - check here tomorrow and I'll put a link up which contains the edited file. Here's a link to the libmozjs archive that I made changes to - worked for me but no guarantees!

hmmm - now this is strange.
I've downloaded the new Raspian image and created a new SD card, now using my previously modified libmozjs archive fails once more with the "Your compiler does not follow the C++ specification for temporary object destruction order" error.
Back to the drawing board?
cant we just install packages libmozjs*[-dev] from the apt-repositories? Has soneone tried this? That's what I ended up doing. I installed libmozjs185-dev

I think widelord made the changes to configure and not to configure.in and his working configure gets overwritten in next build causing second failure.

This is a widespread issue and I wish to get to the real cause.

You are nearly there Widelord - I think

Sounds like @snej was able to get an almost-working copy of CouchDB 1.2 installed simply via apt-get: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-user/201207.mbox/%[email protected]%3e

The only problem he ran into was a permissions issue. So maybe a little poking into who/how that package is being maintained would answer some questions?

FYI, I'm running the Raspbian distro. This is almost certainly not the same distro that the OP was trying to install on, as Raspbian was only released in July (a week or so before I did my install.) As Raspbian is now the recommended Linux to install on RPi, the OP's error might be moot by now...

I'm running the newest Raspbian image (2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian) and have precisely the same issue: "checking for correct temporary object destruction order" fails, and then the build terminates with failure. I need to be able to use the development versions of Couch, not the package version, so the apt-get doesn't work for me; any more ideas what might be causing this issue?

spidemonkey still need a patch?

Yes Spidermonkey will not compile without patch,
I used the following with success

CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
CHOST="armv6j-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi"

How do you put in those flags, in the context of a rake task? I tried just setting them locally, and it didn't seem to help.

from build-couchdb.

If I run

$ CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard" ./configure

Then I get the same error.

However, if I run

$ ./configure CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard"

I get a few errors at the beginning of the configure, but then it completes successfully, and I can run the make.

The make crashes later, however, with a bunch of undefined references.

Any updates on this?

I was having this problem as well. It turns out, in the end, I didn't need to compile from source- SpiderMonkey is installable from the repository via:
sudo apt-get install libmozjs-dev
or
sudo apt-get install libmozjs185-dev
depending on which version you need.

(For me it was the latter, but I was trying to install to get JS support for elinks, not couchDB. This worked to build elinks from source with native JS support, for anyone looking to do the same)
