Ah! It turns out that libpref is part of "tier_necko" which is built before
any of the IPC stuff. I know bent and jduell both have patches which tried
to fix this, although bent's latest patch was backed out for some kind of
build bustage. I expect bent will probably try to reland his bits today
which build the IPC stuff much earlier in the build (during tier_xpcom).
