We need access to Solaris studio, patched to duplicate FF/TB/lightning
building.
Or can go with building it with GCC directly and see how it goes.

In aether way, I suggest putting changes in Hipster back to the place
where Firefox binaries worked, untill building Firefox and current
binaries in changed incombustible things introduced in Hipster after
2013-07-14 12:21
(last time before things started dumping core, not only FF)

We can't do anything clever with a distribution that does not have
working web browser, really.
Not even testing and bug reporting actually.
