Comment (by boklm):

 When building using binutils 2.27, the files that are different are:
 {{{
 Browser/firefox.exe
 Browser/lgpllibs.dll
 Browser/libEGL.dll
 Browser/libGLESv2.dll
 Browser/mozglue.dll
 Browser/plugin-container.exe
 Browser/plugin-hang-ui.exe
 Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/fte.cDFA.pyd
 Browser/updater.exe
 Browser/xul.dll
 }}}

 So it seems this issue doesn't affect tor, meek, obfs4proxy. It also does
 not affect all firefox dlls.
