Christopher, I don't know where you lokked at, but it is still in the page:
{{{
Compile Firefox by issuing the following commands:
[Note]
Note
If you are compiling Firefox in chroot, make sure you have $SHELL
environment variable set or prepend SHELL=/bin/sh.
}}}
I went there to modify according to your wish and noticed that.

However, the modification of using
test $(uname -m) = "i686" && sed -i 's/enable-optimize/&=-O2/' mozconfig
|| true
was modified by Bruce. Didn't it work for you? If you update gcc to the
one in the book (4.9.2), it is not even required anymore.
