Are you sure that is used?
As a test, I did a fresh install of CentOS 5 i386, installed
epel-release and rpmforge-release from
<http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm>
and
<http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm>
Then did:
yum groupinstall development-tools development-libs
x-software-development gnome-software-development
yum install gcc44 gcc44-c++ python26 yasm-devel
Unpacked the firefox 18.0.1 source code, created the mozconfig file and
ran 'make -f client.mk'
And it built fine ...
