The answer was provided in the netscape.public.mozilla.builds:

It is not:
ac_add_options --enable-xft2
but:
ac_add_options --enable-xft

Who knows why this works with 1.8a4.

On a separate note: 1.8a4 scrolls editor windows in pages like Yahoo! 
mail with the scroll wheel. 1.7.12 does not.

Can anybody confirm this?
