FTBFS in latest archive rebuild test

[Adam Conrad]

openoffice.org-l10n failed to build in the latest rebuild test:

checking for firefox-xpcom ... Package firefox-xpcom was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `firefox-xpcom.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'firefox-xpcom' found
configure: error: Library requirements (firefox-xpcom ) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
make[1]: *** [stamp/build] Error 1

Alexander, this seems to be another regression related to the firefox-3.0 changes. Can you please advise on a fix?

This patch in fedora-cvs seems to work, at least the configure run now works:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/devel/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-2.4.0.oooXXXXX.config_office.xpcomasxul.patch?rev=1.4&sortby=date

I did not test the compile-run, because a full ooo-build would take around 3 days on my build-machine.

Of course rules file needs needs to be adjusted accordingly (MOZILLA=xulrunner-1.9 worked for configure run).
