Compile firefox on arch

[Michael Butash]

Not worth the time honestly.  Unless you have a very distinct reason to do
so, ie you're optimizing something, adding a feature that wasn't compiled
in (ie debugging/testing new), it's simply not worth it for weirdness like
you found that someone smarter than you and I already has fixed, so why
knock it.

There should be source packages available for how the packages were
compiled in the first place, I would start there and see how they
patched/built it and got it to work first, then if you really want to,
tweak the build flags backward from that.
