Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:4 erinn]:
 > It's also worth noting that rsync -a --exclude is only being run in the
 OSX build for Firefox and doesn't appear elsewhere in the source (at least
 based on a simple grep I did). In the end it might be easier to just patch
 Firefox to copy those files a different way.

 Well, yes, maybe. I am not so happy patching Firefox for this issue,
 though, as we want to get all patches merged upstream and this is just a
 bug in our toolchain for which there is no big incentive on the Mozilla
 side to care about (let alone that this is strictly speaking no Firefox
 bug). Maybe this is a problem already fixed in a newer rsync version? I
 gonna try spending some cycles next week to ask for help on the rsync
 mailing list as a first step.
