I built 0.9.3 using Forte 6 Update 2, so I know it can be done - and it
works.  I built it on both Solaris 7 and Solaris 9.

Is that your .mozconfig for Firefox, or for Mozilla???

Here's mine:

. ${topsrcdir}/browser/config/mozconfig

ac_add_options  --disable-debug
ac_add_options  --enable-optimize=-xO3
ac_add_options  --disable-jsd

Here's my ${topsrcdir}/browser/config/mozconfig:

# This file specifies the build flags for Firefox.  You can use it by
adding:
#  . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
# to the top of your mozconfig file.

MOZ_PHOENIX=1 ; export MOZ_PHOENIX
mk_add_options MOZ_PHOENIX=1

ac_add_options --disable-ldap
ac_add_options --disable-mailnews
ac_add_options
--enable-extensions=cookie,xml-rpc,xmlextras,pref,transformiix,universal
chardet,typeaheadfind,webservices,inspector,gnomevfs,negotiateauth
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --disable-composer
ac_add_options --enable-single-profile
ac_add_options --disable-profilesharing

Looks to me like you replicated your $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
file inside your top-level .mozconfig file ... not sure why.
