-------------------------+---------------------
 For 4.0.2 and 4.5-alpha-2 we had to back out Mozilla's fix for bug 762358
 as it broke our deterministic build setup. It seems it is running
 |configure| again during the |make build| step which should not be needed
 as we are not changing .mozconfig (again). Maybe having a .mozconfig file
 in the first place is already counted as "changing .mozconfig" here.
 |configure| does not like libfaketime but we need the latter for the |make
 build| step in order to cope with timestamps embedded, e.g. in libraries.
