  Log:
  Make www/firefox3 work on PowerPC.
  
  There were two things that prevented this port from compiling properly
  on PowerPC:
  
  - The `pthread hack' (GECKO_PTHREAD_LIBS) tried to obtain -lpthread from
    the gcc dumpspecs output. It expects these compiler flags to be on the
    first line of output, while on PowerPC the flags are on the second
    line.
  
  - On FreeBSD/powerpc it needs to use the Linux xptcall wrappers.
  
  I am not entirely convinced that it works properly, though. I've seen
  Firefox crash inside pthread_mutex_lock during shutdown. I'm committing
  these patches anyway, because getting it to compile is already a step
  forward.
