Sorry, I should have said that before trying to build Firefox I'd done
an svn update (a couple of hours ago), so any fixes which are in the
repository are also here. I also installed xorg-x11-devel.

However, I've /not/ made the changes you referred to doing "manually" -
e.g. adding an autoconf symlink. Also, I don't know if old builds of
dependencies might cause problems? As you've noted, starting from
scratch is quite tedious so I only want to do that if it's worthwhile.

You're quite right. I should have been more careful with my language.

As mentioned above, my repository (at least) is up to date.
