I regularly build Mozilla on RHL 9 (and previously RHL 8 and 7.x). I 
dont think I specially installed anything specifically to get Mozilla 
builds working - although I did do a full install.

My options are

about:buildconfig

--enable-svg --enable-calendar --enable-crypto 
--enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --disable-toolkit-gtk --disable-toolkit-qt 
--enable-xft --enable-freetype2 --enable-cpp-rtti 
--enable-cpp-exceptions --enable-extensions --with-system-jpeg 
--with-system-zlib --with-system-png --with-system-mng

I probably need to have another look at the --enable-cpp-rtti and 
--enable-cpp-exceptions. From a quick look at the g++ (2.3.2) man page 
they are (now?) enabled by default. Apart from being compiler flags 
there may be code conditional on these options, although I couldnt see 
any #defines based on them. It looks as though the --disable-toolkit-gtk 
--disable-toolkit-qt may be unecessary (--enable-default-toolkit sets 
them), but I was never sure. Also, --with-system-mng does not currently 
do anything.
