In jhbuild we are moving these libraries in lib/ to avoid to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
There is some work going on to avoid the whole mess:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193442
My guess looking at the trace is that the new method of loading the
libraries breaks the trick we was using. (Mozilla now looks for the
libraries in prefix/mozilla-version).Not sure about the undefined
reference.
Could it be that the libraries in /usr/lib are being used ?
Mozilla undefined reference are ever a pain to debug :/

Anyway I'm going to rebuild my mozilla tree now and try to understand what's going on.
