It looks like the mozilla build system's support for building with gtk 
+ and without x has either bitrotted or never been used.  I'll guess  
that the decision of whether to build gtkxtbin (which sounds an awful  
lot like a gtk+ bin widget that can nest inside Xt containers) is  
based on whether you are using gtk+ and not also whether you are  
using X.  It may, in fact, be necessary to create a DFB version of  
this widget if sufficient infrastructure does not already exist in  
mozilla.

So, this looks more like a question for the mozilla maintainers than  
the gtk+ team.  Be patient, because today is a holiday for USians,  
and many of the people who'd know the answer probably won't read  
email til tomorrow.

Disclaimer:  i just deleted my jhbuild mozilla source directory  
yesterday, and am making guesses based purely on the compiler output  
you posted.  YMMV.
