 check-prerequisites.sh should include logic to test for known build
 requirements:

 AMD64 architecture
 Enough RAM memory
 Enough disk storage

 Assuming that builds on IA32 VMs (using LXC) and bare metal build
 environments fail due to the current OSX cross-compile toolchain and/or
 linking of libxul.so, check-prerequisites.sh should include (pseudocode):

 uname -m | grep -q x86_64 ~|~| echo 'Wrong CPU arch!'

 Assuming a minimum 4Go RAM build requirement, check-prerequisites.sh
 should include (pseudocode):

 free -g | grep Mem | sed(1)/awk(1)

 Assuming a minumum 48Go disk storage requirement, check-prerequisites.sh
 should include (pseudcode):

 pwd(1)/mount(1)/df(1) script code to determine max storage in current
 path.

 NOTE: These requirements depend on other variables, at the very least
 whether KVM or LXC is in use (already determined by check-
 prerequisites.sh.

 Lastly, once these requirements are sorted out they should be documented
 (separate ticket) in or near [1] for human consumption.
