gcc6 is innocent. It builds fine standalone.

The offending include of pkg-build-options.mk is in 
www/firefox68/mozilla-common.mk on line 68. pkgbase being set to gcc6 is 
I suspect a consenquence of the GCC_REQD+=6.1 near the top of the same file.

Not sure if the mozilla makefile is wrong or if the check in 
pkg-build-options.mk needs tweaking. Last successful thunderbird build 
on 8 stable I have is 11 days ago but there aren't any obvious file 
changes in pkgsrc over that timeframe. I have updated the 8 stable 
sources over that timeframe but again I don't see anything that would 
impact makefile operation. Any suggestions?

The same file on 9.0-RC1 doesn't cause any issue.
