I'm honestly not sure what issue that is, or how to solve it..

you did do a :
apt-get build-dep iceweasel before building?

I have not done anything special on my end
got the source from git (by switching branches and fetching the exact version 
mentioned in the first email.).
Then just do the standard configure\make.
