I could be wrong but it appears there are 2 distinct errors - in gcc6 itself
(specifically in header files) and in thunderbird (although this version
does compile with gcc 4.8.2)

Background - rebuilding the thunderbird 38.7.0 rpm (from redhat) using gcc6
and binutild 2.26 in RHEL 6.7

I'm wandering if this is a result of moving to std-14 as default and thus
not a bug, or if there is some issue with stdlib.h/cstdlib ?
The heaer problem is a bug in the mozilla code, see
s/heaer/header/

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70722 and
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70872
And the other problem is probably due to not finding the right
headers, so is the same problem.

If not, then the call to abs(sl) might need to be adjusted to pass an
integer, not a double.

Both of these issues are documented at https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/porting_to.html
