I test built with gstreamer enabled, but this did not provide the <video> h264 support like you thought. Upon reading up on Firefox and gstreamer, it seems support is not finalized and still in progress: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422540

As for how to build:

1. Install Maemo SDK. (also apt-get install python2.5)
2. Follow these instructions: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Build/Fennec
3. Use "ac_add_options --enable-application=mobile/xul" instead of "ac_add_options --enable-application=mobile" in your mozconfig.
4. After you run "make package", change directories to "objdir/mobile/xul/installer" and run "make deb".
