mozilla plugin does not build with xulrunner 1.9.2

I'm trying to build vlc 1.0.4 against xulrunner 1.9.2 (from firefox 3.6.0beta4) on Mandriva Cooker:

my hack to make vlc build with xulrunner 1.9.2beta5

I am using Gentoo x86_64. A bug report has been filed with Gentoo about this (​https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290318). In that bug report, someone posted a different patch (​http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/rpms/vlc/devel/vlc-1.0.4-xulrunner-192.patch?revision=1.1&root=free&view=markup). That patch worked for me. I have not tried the one posted here.
