Building Firefox fails

I saw this message posted here on Nov 2, without an update (that I could
find), and I too have this problem.  I tracked it to the Makefile in
work/mozilla/toolkit/xre not compiling the nsEmbedFunctions.cpp file
unless libxul was compiled, this is enabled via the ./configure argument
"--enable-libxul", which we do not pass.

I have confirmed that adding that to the configure arguments in the
ports makefile makes it at least compile.  I have not done a run test
yet.  This is on a virginal RELENG_6_1 machine with ports cvsup-ed as of
late last night/early this morning with a make install
in /usr/ports/x11/gnome2

(entire machine was built last night from 6.1-RELEASE CDs, cvsuped to
"RELENG_6_1" for src and "." for everything else)
