I actually just changed the script today so that it will fix these.  It
only seems to be a problem when not building it optimized.  Making sure
that LD_PREBIND_ALLOW_OVERLAP is not set seems to do the trick.

I just update my site with the new build script and new .mozconfigs (an
new one for debugs, since -O2 and -g3 don't go well together.)

There really isn't an official place for these on the mozilla FTP site,
and I just started building them for myself after the nightlies so I'd
have a debug build.  Since I started building them specifically to knock
out some of the critical bugs, I'll take a look at #228479.
