Sorry, but this is nonsense. If the upstream (means: sun OOo) builds works with TB 2.x (means: xul 1.8.x), builds with the source code from the third_party dir should do the same!
But i think the whole address book thing in mozilla is crap. There should be a way to read and write address book data without any hassle.
