Start from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_build_system .

Learn about pkg-config, PKG_CONFIG_PATH, CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS, LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

You sound overoptimistic - compiling gtk+ alone will take some time (I mean
the learning curve), let alone Mozilla.

I suggest first to fully compile from source gtk+ and Mozilla, _not_
cross-compile, and only then to go to cross-compilation.

You questions are not gtk+ - specific, by the way.
