I was formerly involved in packaging IceCat for Parabola, and never
saw this.  However, I noticed that you used the usual GNU
`./configure; make; make install`, for Parabola we use:

    make -j1 -f client.mk build MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS=$MAKEFLAGS
    make -j1 -f client.mk DESTDIR=$pkgdir install

where $MAKEFLAGS is any flags that need to be passed to make (for
example -jN), and $pkgdir is a staging directory.

I hope this helps,

Happy hacking,
