Comment (by gk):

 Okay, I spent quite some time to set up infrastructure to be able to
 compare a non-failing build with a build one by disabling piece-by-piece
 parts of the toolchain we built. It turns out that just using the Rust
 compiler is causing all the errors for me. That is: once I use rustup
 everything is fine (all other things being equal).

 I'll double-check that as I am not sure yet why the non-rust files should
 be affected but that's what my testing currently gives me.

 Regarding the Rust version: Yes, Firefox  is officially using 1.24.1 but
 we bumped the version to 1.26.1 for all of our platforms for build/runtime
 issues. I don't think we should switch back to 1.24.1 for Android. If it
 is really a Rust version problem we should figure our what it is and
 probably add a fixup to 1.26.1 in our build
