To build IceCat 3.6.x, try this:

    wget -c http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnuzilla/3.6.16/icecat-3.6.16.tar.bz2
    tar -xf icecat-3.6.16.tar.bz2
    cd icecat-3.6.16

Comment out the line:

    ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-pipe -O3"

in .mozconfig (otherwise IceCat prevents some pictures to be displayed on
YeeLoong). Then:

    patch -Np1 <../Work-around-FTBFS-on-mips-by-disabling-TLS-support.patch
    cp configure{,.orig}
    autoconf2.13 configure.in >configure

See autoconf line of
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Linux_Prerequisites#All_other_systems
for explanations on the use of this old 2.13 version. Then:

    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

Those instructions worked for me with IceCat 3.6.13. I think it will work for
you as well.
