I also tried using the instruction:

Do I need to use the SHELL=/bin/sh form of the
command, and do I also need to install gstreamer?
I don't recall seeing gstreamer in the list of
dependencies. Or do I need to disable gstreamer?
Or is there something else I need to do?
Richard
It sounds like you are doing this in chroot and if so you must use the
provided command. It really is quite clear in the instructions what is
needed.
Christopher.
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am not building
firefox in a chroot environment. But still for some
reason, SHELL=/bin/sh seems to be required.
