I see you have figured out some of this already...

Everything from Mozilla v1.5.x forward is a GCC build. Thunderbird and
Firebird are GCC builds.

My first stop is the URL I've posted before:

This is fine, but in the past, this site has been light on how tos and
caveats. Steve Wendt's site is better for this.

How you start Mozilla determines what PATH and LIBPATH entries are needed.
Mozilla is just another OS/2 app and follows the same PATH and LIBPATH
rules as every other app.

If you start mozilla with the working directory set to mozilla\bin and
LIBPATH contains a reference to the current directory (i.e. "."), that's
all that needs to be in LIBPATH.

If you want to start mozilla from with an arbitrary working directory or
from the command line, you will neeed PATH and LIBPATH entries to support
this.

This is all true. Mozilla is very flexible and has lots of features even
though it's not yet code complete. Most users, myself included, don't use
more than a few percent of what's available.
