firefox-esr on armv6/7

[bob prohaska]

Hi Mikael,

Your patch seems to have applied, but I've run into a spot of trouble.....

I forgot to apply the patch before starting make, so I killed it
with control-c, applied the patch and tried to restart. The attempt
failed, some sort of error in /tmp/mountpoint....... I've tried various
cleanup methods, including checkout of a fresh copy of the ports tree,
to no avail.


Is there a writeup somewhere on how to restart a make? The Handbook
does not reflect the recent changes. /usr/src and /usr/ports are 
current as of Dec. 2, if that matters. I didn't recognize anything
in /usr/ports/UPDATING.


Thanks for reading,

bob prohaska
