You see, whether you use the BLFS method or your method, the same
thing is done, that is configure-make-make install. When the Moz
method 'make client.mk build' command is executed, it does nothing
more than run configure (with whatever options are specified) and
then make. Both procedures use make install.
There are some subtle but important differences between using CMMI and make -f
client.mk
make -f client.mk allows you to build in a separate obj.dir so you can build firefox, thunderbird and mozilla from the same source without having to do make distclean.
Also, make -f client.mk runs cvs update before anything else so that the code is up to date.
But more importantly, make -f client.mk reads it's configure options from the mozconfig file
