Hi,

Not wanting to dampen your enthusiasm, but getting firefox to build
correctly will be a very large undertaking, so be prepared for lots of
debugging like this.

In this instance the error is caused by an autoconf failure where a
test program is trying to be linked rather than compiled, and that is
failing because the inputs do not constitute a valid program.  You'll
need to dig through config.log to find the invocation and then through
configure to figure out what's going on and fix it.  It's somewhat
unusual that a test for ld --version is trying to link a program, so
that may indicate some earlier tests have gone wrong causing this
later failure.

Good luck!
