 Replying to [comment:21 mingwandroid]:
 > Are these logs with ESR 17?

 Yes.
 > Can you give me the full stdout/err logs, the config.log files and also
 detailed reproduction steps and patches used?

 Attached are the Gitian error logs and config.log files, the patch for
 Gitian and the custom mozconfig file used by the Firefox build process. It
 is against master (commit 651110fbf74c17a72c37268638115d6f1ea39b5c).
 Steps to reproduce:

 1) Make sure you have run fetch-inputs.sh after switching to commit
 651110fbf74c17a72c37268638115d6f1ea39b5c.
 2) Apply the patch and copy .mozconfig-mac-test and your i686-apple-
 darwin10.tar.bz2 to gitian-builder/inputs
 3) Run gGtian and this should give you the optimized error
 4) Comment out "--enable-optimize" and enable "--disable-optimize" in
 .mozconfig-mac-test
 5) Run Gitian and this should give you the error if optimization is
 disabled
 > My crosstool-ng build is finishing up so I hope to be able to get the
 sha256sum soon. When we tar the file, we should pass --exclude='lib/*.a'
 as the majority of that 800MB will be LLVM static libraries that are not
 needed.

 Okay, did that which reduced the bz2 size to ca 300MB. The new sha256sum
 is: 363eb0b76819425b38f56ad4a7bf2c6bee5bc26bdae09e2e2a05a89b40c370eb
