Huh?

Mozilla is the name of the project and the code at the heart of the
Netscape browser.  Netscape is a branded release of the Mozilla code
(and some other proprietary stuff, though they are attempting to get
free software replacements for those pieces), which has been tested
and meets with the Netscape Communications Corporation requirements
for performance and so forth.  According to the Mozilla organization
web site, if you want Mozilla to run on your favorite OS, you should
donate them a machine with the OS installed.  That seems to be the
process for getting builds done on the OS in question.

So, have you got a spare machine to donate?
