@Richard: xterm does not set the SHELL environment variable if the shell is

export SHELL=$XTERM_SHELL before running firefox building instructions, or
as you already found out,
SHELL=/bin/sh make...
or create the /etc/shells file (Chapter 3 of the BLFS book), and restart xterm.
This is interesting.
Do you or any other editor think that Mozilla products should link to
that page instead of having a note about prepending the SHELL variable
to make command?
Or better yet, should (both) Python instructions link to that page,
given that Python errors when SHELL is not set?
Hmm. Maybe we should consider moving the BLFS page on /etc/shells to LFS.
