Thanks for the clarification. I should also have persisted/revisited 
reading the code ...

Just add that a complete new/clobber build with the above takes around 
2-3 hours on my 1.6 GHz P4 box.

The one time I've tried so far (a couple of months back) to build 
Mozilla Firebird there seemed to be a clash with building Mozilla - 
neither worked for me and I started afresh with a clobber build. But I 
assumed they could be built in the same tree. I need to read the Mozilla 
Firebird instructions (again), but can someone clarify whether both 
Mozilla and Mozilla Firebird are buildable in the same tree or whether 
different trees needed?
