Comment (by sukhbir):

 The `xvfb` change above is pretty simple (in `firefox/build`);

 {{{
  rm -f configure
  rm -f js/src/configure

 +Xvfb :1 -screen 0 800x600x16 &
 +export DISPLAY=:1.0
 }}}

 (I am not sure if the resolution is needed...)

 I also made a few changes for `wine`:

 {{{
 +export WINEARCH=win64
 +export HOME=/var/tmp/home
 +mkdir -p $HOME
 +WINEROOT=$HOME/.wine/drive_c
 }}}

 and

 {{{
    windows-x86_64:
      var:
 +      pre_pkginst: dpkg --add-architecture i386
        martools_filename: mar-tools-win64.zip
 +      arch_deps:
 +        - wine
 +        - libwine:i386
 +        - xvfb
 }}}

 This works ... mostly:

 {{{
  2:01.68 err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out
  2:01.92 err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out
  4:01.75 err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out
  4:03.16 err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out
 }}}

 This doesn't seem to affect calling `fxc2` though, because those commands
 complete successfully.

 These will all go in the patch so you can ignore them for now but I am
 documenting them here in case you want to try the `32bit` build or help
 improve the above.
