It is if you follow Mozilla's build instructions, which are to build with
"mach". I think that doing what you did will bypass mach. I tried it and
got an error further into the build regarding some missing python stuff
(but I haven't installed a newer python yet, so that's not unexpected.)
Is it also necessary to install the newer GCC that you used? I haven't yet
noticed that listed in the build requirements...
