Yeah you can do that.  Check the archives I think that someone does PPC
build of Mozilla and posts the notice here regularly.  I'd take that route
before building your own.  Additionally, things that link against mozilla
*might* freak out if mozilla chnages.  the nice thing about using prebuilt
RPM's is that someone (hopefully) has discovered these problems and
adjusted the specfile accordingly.
