Turns out this is a known bug that's fixed in trunk https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661609 . I was wrong about 5.0 building fine, it only worked properly because I had built 5.0 before upgrading to linux 3.x, but trying to rebuild 5.0 now causes the same problem.
This is a frustrating impurity in the firefox build system. I can't think of any reason for firefox to depend on the kernel version, and I sincerely doubt that any other distro supplies different firefox binaries for different kernel versions, so wouldn't any kernel version-dependent compilations just increase the risk of breakage? I suppose I'll have to check with the firefox build team for the answer to that :) > FYI, this fails to build on my machine (where 5.0 builds fine).
