Nope. the tar archive is a BINARY. when talking about mozilla, using
source is no guarantee -- after your 200MB+ source build, you might get an
unstable build. why? because the source is snap-shotted every night.

so in this case it's better to stick with a known good
build. unfortunately, among the available binaries (because they're
different snapshots) only the 0.7 straight (no xslt/mathml, not rpm) is
good enough for daily use.
