With the help of Jim Nance, who wrote this document:

I was able to compile Mozilla 0.8 on my Tru64 UNIX 5.0A system.
Had to use GNU-tar to unpack it, and use some options to configure.
The trick was to configure mozilla without debugging turned on
using --disable-debug option to configure.
So, I got a mozilla built, and it even works, mostly. It still
does the same things that Mozilla 0.7 did, namely it doesn't
load some pages, and it sometimes partially loads pages. If you
want to click reload a lot, you may get lucky and get entire pages.
Also, it doesn't seem to allow pasting URLs into the browser window
like I'm used to with Netscape.
Still, it's under active development, so I hope that those things
will be fixed someday. I use this version of Mozilla successfully
on other platforms even, just not on Tru64 yet.
As for me, bring on MacOS X. :-)
