Comment (by bugzilla):

 Welcome new incompatibility with EMET (Windows 10 only) - Blocking
 Untrusted Fonts feature:
 > Untrusted fonts are any font installed outside of the %windir%/Fonts
 directory. Blocking untrusted fonts helps prevent both remote (web-based
 or email-based) and local EOP attacks that can happen during the font
 file-parsing process.
 Replying to cypherpunks:
 > Look at about:buildconfig, for used flags
 It was a general suggestion:
 > If package compilation fails and while not using -O2, try rebuilding
 with that option. (Gentoo)
 And
 Why is {{{-fomit-frame-pointer}}} explicit?
 > {{{-O}}} also turns on {{{-fomit-frame-pointer}}} on machines where
 doing so does not interfere with debugging.
 Is {{{-fno-exceptions}}} just doubled or replacing something useful?
