compiling firefox under RHEL4 -- libmozz.so issue

[Justin Gedge]

okay- I'm trying to compile firefox on RHEL4.  Currently compiling in my own
account to try a few options out- trying to work out issues w/ firefox and
other software.  But at the moment- I can't get firefox to compile.  last
part of make log shows:

Kind of interesting- it complains about libmozz.so not being there- but a
few lines earlier- it [rm -f libmozz.so].  Not sure why it's going through
torching a file it needs seconds later in the compile.  Any ideas?
