SeaMonkey 2.46 compiled in Pi3

I have compiled SeaMonkey 2.46 in the Raspberry Pi3, running Quirky Xerus 8.1.4. It took all night, but finally got there, after a few failures.

The info at the LFS page was invaluable:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/xsoft/seamonkey.html

This is my mozconfig:

mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS='-j1'

mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=suite

ac_add_options --enable-application=suite

ac_add_options --enable-system-hunspell

ac_add_options --enable-system-pixman

ac_add_options --disable-debug

ac_add_options --without-system-libevent

ac_add_options --enable-optimize='-Os'

...in retrospect, I would have chosen not to use the system pixman lib, as although it works, error messages get spitted out on stderr.

...note also, not using system libevent. Version 2.1.8 and later requires a patch, as shown on the LFS page. Quirky, based on Ubuntu 16.04 DEBs, has an older libevent that does NOT want that patch -- which I found out the hard way, as the LFS page doesn't explain that vital detail. Using the internal libevent avoids the problem.

I had to install "autoconf2.13" DEB from the Ubuntu repo, otherwise configure doesn't work.

With "mozconfig" in place, it was just a matter of:
# make -f client.mk
# make -f client.mk install

Correction, further down the LFS page, it does explain about libevent 2.1.8:

sed ... message_pump_libevent.cc: Fix an error due to changes in libevent-2.1.8 and later.

...using the internal libevent, this patch is not required.
