I had this same problem and got around it by commenting out the
offending lines.  I have no clue what the ramifications of doing such
might be, but the build worked and Skipstone seemed to work fine during
a few test runs.  The offending lines are something like:

#include NEW_H

I simply turned that into:

// #include NEW_H

You will have to do this on both files:
/usr/X11R6/include/mozilla/string/nsBufferHandleUtils.h:36
/usr/X11R6/include/mozilla/xpcom/nsCppSharedAllocator.h:6

Then after this the build will fail again due to some undeclared
function reference.  Again, probably unwisely, I just commented out the
reference to the offending function and the build completed
successfully.  My main goal was just to get Skipstone up to some degree
so that I could see what it looked like and how it rendered various
pages.  It seemed OK, but I wasn't all that impressed.  It's memory
usage isn't that much less than that of Phoenix.

Probaby the port maintainer should be notified about these problems.

Good luck,
Nathan
