I downloaded an Iceweasel 2.0.0.13 tar.gzip (couldn't run apt-get as I
am on dial-up with a 2-hour cut-off). I run Debian Etch.

I don't have a debian/rules file in the src directory.

I ran apt-get build-dep iceweasel:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 184 not upgraded.

then  ./configure --prefix=/opt/iceweasel --enable-application=browser
assuming that the --prefix option will place the executable in
the /opt/iceweasel folder.

echo $? => 0
XLIBS + XT_LIBS are empty


The same problem was reported here:
