Replying to [comment:13 mikeperry]:
> gk: random idea: What if we told Firefox that the ASAN compiler was a
cross compiler? Then the host gcc should build that libxul library, and
use non-ASAN hardened tools in the packaging step, and this should avoid
the crash during packaging?
That might be a smart idea. There is actually a section in the example
.mozconfig that I omitted which might help us here:
{{{
# Avoid using ASan flags when building host tools like nsinstall
export HOST_CFLAGS=" "
export HOST_CXXFLAGS=" "
export HOST_LDFLAGS=" "
}}}
I'll test that on one of my machines. As I said the problem is not
existing in Fx 29 anymore with my current setup. So, I am bisecting on my
other machine meanwhile to find something useful (I guess this is less
time-consuming than examining stack traces of an already solved problem
although it is quite tempting to take that road).
