for some reason, mach doesn't include gcc-c++ in its set of required
build packages. i've notified the author but haven't received a reply
yet. in the meanwhile, you either have to add "BuildRequires: gcc-c++"
to firefox's spec file, or add something like the following to your
.machrc file (replacing 'fedora-1-i386-core' with the label of the mach
root you're using, if appropriate):

    packages['fedora-1-i386-core']['build'] = (
        packages['fedora-1-i386-core']['build'] + ' gcc-c++' )
