This is a quick guess. All of the above should have been handled by the
system-mozilla-fixes patch. The mentioned $moz_flavor change should
have been made when configure was regenerated, and suseqently the
correct pkgconfig files should have updated the rest of the variables.
The configure script is no longer patched directly, rather patching
configure.in. I suspect that autoreconf was either not run or did not
complete successfully, or that the system-mozilla-fixes patch was not
applied. That said, I'll double check the build tomorrow evening when
I've finised with the X section to eliminate errors on my part when
comitting changes to the book.

Indeed, 'autoreconf' was not run. There's a lesson in that regarding
paying attention and RTFM, but it'll have to wait :), since not all
problems were solved. For whenever you find the time:
1. The reference in 'configure' (and in 'configure.in') to
'mozilla-nspr' should probably be changed to '$mozflavour-nspr'. It
works for me (and my firefox), but I don't know if it's valid also for
seamonkey:

2. The error in the build of 'libxmlsec' remains and, from what I saw,
was not addressed by 'xmlsec1-1.2.6.patch' or its patch: 'mozilla-nss'
and 'mozilla-nspr' are sought after, with no reference to other
possible "mozilla-flavours"
3. As for the issue of 'plugin/{base,unx}', I haven't reached that
point in the build again, but from the looks of the make-files, it
doesn't appear to be solved
