Building Firefox on MacIntel

I got Firefox building on my Macbook! The build instructions on MDC were pretty good, and got me through most of the process. However, there were a few iffy spots. Here are some problems I had, and how I resolved them. Note that this mission was not entirely successful: I wasn't able to build a universal binary, only an Intel build. I was headed down the rabbit hole trying to track down the PPC errors, and didn't really need it, so gave up (for now!).

Now that I'm writing this, I wish I'd saved the error messages that I got along the way :P Oh well, here's what I have, FWIW:

Thanks to #camino for help figuring this out.
