Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:5 gk]:
 > I was thinking about that while looking for a way to fix this issue
 (MOZ_DATA_REPORTING might come to mind here as well?). But what I fear is
 weird breakage as this is a non-standard way of building Firefox which
 might not be supported at all. I thought this might be a bit risky at
 least for the stable one. The other reason why I am a bit reluctant is
 that I want to get our patch queue shorter and not longer :).

 Those are valid points.  Compiling Firefox in unusual ways will probably
 hurt us someday if it hasn't already.  I am not sure how confused people
 are so I am not sure how to decide which is the best solution.
