... and a bit further still :)

The mozilla build system places any LDFLAGS ahead of its own libdirs
when composing the cc command. So if you have an old mozilla in libs
found via LDFLAGS, the firefox compilation will try and link against
it, and you'll get linker errors.

Quick workaround: remove said libraries from /usr/lib/64 :)

I'm using LDFLAGS to get garnome to link against /usr/lib64 etc., as
I'm on x86_64. Is there another way to do this, avoiding LDFLAGS ? I'm
guessing fixing the firefox build system to reorder where LDFLAGS is
expanded isn't worth the pain ...
