Comment (by mingwandroid):

 I'm not sure why you're having mach-o/arch.h problems. Can you test the
 following:
 {{{
 find ~/x-tools/i686-apple-darwin10 -name "arch.h" -exec ls -l {} \;
 -r--r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 4231 Oct 14 17:31 /home/ubuntu/x-tools/i686
 -apple-darwin10/include/mach-o/arch.h
 }}}
 and also:
 {{{
 find /home/ubuntu/MacOSX10.6.sdk -name "arch.h" -exec ls -l {} \;
 -rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 4185 Apr  8  2011
 /home/ubuntu/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/include/mach-o/arch.h
 }}}
 I also tested compiling just this .cc file (outside of the gitian build
 system, in fact, just a basic test from the commandline:
 {{{
 /c/x/dx-i686-3_3/bin/i686-apple-darwin11-clang++ /home/ubuntu/ESR24-work
 /mozilla-esr24/toolkit/crashreporter/google-
 breakpad/src/common/mac/arch_utilities.cc --sysroot ~/MacOSX10.6.sdk
 -I/home/ubuntu/ESR24-work/mozilla-esr24/toolkit/crashreporter/google-
 breakpad/src/ -c
 }}}
 .. and that worked. You'll notice I used a GCC built as darwin11, but that
 *shouldn't* matter.

 I've just finished making clang 3.0-3.2 patches to bring them in-line with
 3.3. After some testing I will commit them. I will add a comment when this
 is done. I think that 3.3 and ESR24 is the best thing to focus on, however
 for the ESR17 bug I googled it and found:

 > "I'm pretty sure you can enclose that DebugOnly line in #ifdef DEBUG /
 ... / #endif to fix this."
