Firefox 4.0 released binaries for linux fail to run on Scientific Linux 5.5 (free recompile of RHEL 5.5) because of an older version of glibc.

I have no problem running a recompiled Firefox 4.0 on this system but can only find the source for the Minefield version, not the actual Firefox 4.0 release.

Is there an easy-to-spot link on mozilla.org that will lead to this source, so one can build the released Firefox 4.0 on systems with older glibc?
