Comment:

 This patch makes sure that the "precompile startup cache" step runs during
 "make package". This step is required to avoid leaking the browser install
 location reported in this bug. The step was previously prevented by the
 line export COMPILE_CACHE=1 in .mozconfig-mac, but this patched version
 ignores the flag and calls precompile_cache() anyway.
