Default Building Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5 on FreeBSD [solved]

I followed all the instructions at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs..._Documentation. However, my build fails with:

Code:

Has anyone tried to get the Firefox 3 Betas running under FreeBSD? I remember that they used to have FreeBSD binaries before, but all they have now are Windows, Linux, Solaris, and OSX.
