Comment (by gk):

 We need to disable the sandbox code as it currently can't be compiled with
 mingw-w64 (adding `ac_add_options --disable-sandbox` to our `.mozconfic-
 mingw`). See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042426 for
 further details.

 Especially problematic are the SEH bits. According to Jacek that was not
 implemented in GCC for years due to patent issues. The patent expired but
 now it needs someone to code that up for GCC.
