Comment:

 This might actually be due to the --disable-optimize build flag that we
 had to start using in FF17. The vanilla Firefox source crashes gcc/ld on
 Debian 6.0 32bit with --enable-optimize, so we had to turn it off.
 Interestingly, Ubuntu was able to build Firefox with --enable-optimize
 without crashing, as was Debian x64's. Seemed like a toolchain bug that
 debian hasn't backported the fix for?

 We need to either ditch Debian as our build platform, or tell them to
 figure out what is wrong with their toolchain.

 #8156 is another similar odd issue caused specifically by our Debian x86
 build flags/build setup. Very weird stuff.
