True enough -- however the patch that requires mozilla to be
re-autoconf'ed is only necessary on NetBSD/alpha.  Hmmm... except for
the new PTHREADS support I see....

The proper long-term fix is of course to use the "auto*-old" packages I
submitted in PR#17018, and to make the mozilla build use them (at least
for alpha).  (and to ask the mozilla developers when they'll finally get
around to upgrading their auto* tools!  ;-)
