Thuderbird is part of stock Slackware. What you are experiencing is likely why it hasn't been uploaded to -current yet... the build changed a little and it takes time to work out the process.
Give it a few days and I'm sure a shiny new Thunderbird will show up on the mirrors.
Seriously, the fast release cycle Mozilla has taken is just making more work for everyone to keep up with.

I am building packages for seamonkey firefox and thunderbird myself for a (still private) ARM port, and needed to hunt down patches for several gcc 4.7 related compilation issues, like the one above.
I have a seamonkey 2.8 package compiled on bleeding edge -current now. I applied the same patches to firefox and that is still compiling but looks promising. Those patches are probably required on thunderbird too.

I'm going to try and compile again...still errors...will investigate further. Thunderbird will compile if you disable crashreporter, but I've yet to figure out how to compile with crashreporter enabled.

These are the three patches which I needed to build searmonkey and firefox. Did not try thunderbird but since they all share the same codebase, the patches will probably fix your issue.
With both LFS and Eric's patches applied the compiler still halts when building crashreporter. I will try again with only Eric's...same result...hmm I think the problem lies within Google Breakpad but I'm not sure...
