Hi Ken,

As I said, I managed to successfully build/install 8.0
(NOT 8.0.1, but I cannot see important differences around your problems):
<http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-support/2011-November/068769.html>

I think the key is the way GTK-2 is built.
Basically (if my notes are correct and memory serves),
I created a "gtk+-2.24.5-old_icons-1.patch" modeled after DJ's
"gtk+-2.22.1-old_icons-1.patch".

Then the usual,
patch -Np1 -i gtk+-2.24.5-old_icons-1.patch
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
make install    # On 2011-07-14 20:15

The later build and install of Firefox-8.0 went without a hitch.
(Note: at one point in configure/build there was something like:
checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.10.0 gtk+-unix-print-2.0 glib-2.0 gobject-2.0
 gdk-x11-2.0... yes)

Note:  As far as "engines", I ended up with

[]$ ls -og /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines
-rwxr-xr-x 1   2302 2011-07-14 20:15 libpixmap.la
-rwxr-xr-x 1 113430 2011-07-14 20:15 libpixmap.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 138238 2009-06-27 13:36 libsvg.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1   1599 2009-12-18 16:39 libsvg.la
-rwxr-xr-x 1 111032 2009-06-27 13:36 libsvg.so

All firefox stuff looks OK (icons, buttons, etc.).  None of your problems.

Hope if not help, my words could bring you some solace.
