This is the URL I found when trying to troubleshoot the problems with
the seg faults:

http://www.mozilla.org/unix/tru64.html

It applies to Tru64, but it hints that Alpha Linux is the only platform
capable of compiling Mozilla for Alpha using GCC.  The Compaq C++
compiler is, unfortunately, not ported to FreeBSD.

Jan Lentfer <Jan.Lentfer@web.de> ran into another URL, that I don't have
at the moment.  I've copied him as perhaps he remembers it.
