I get the following error when I build (Linux 64, full clobber build): nsinstall cannot create symbolic link dist/bin/modules/services-common/async.js: Bad address I bisected, and the first bad rev is http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/579f1d93 which is bug 731494. froydnj is seeing the same problem on his Linux-64 machine. My mozconfig: . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/../debug ac_add_options --srcdir=../src ac_add_options --enable-trace-malloc ac_add_options --enable-debug ac_add_options --disable-optimize ac_add_options --with-ccache mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j16 -s" ac_add_options --enable-application=browser

"bad address" sounds like a C standard library error message and thus a bug in nsinstall. Wut?
Yeah, somebody is passing symlink a NULL.
Gregory, this blocks any developer on 64-bit linux (of which there are lots) from building m-c. Please either fix this asap, or back out the landing in bug 731494 asap.

I wonder why we don't see this on tinderbox...
Yeah, that's indeed odd. But what's most important here is to get people unblocked. If someone can't figure this out in minutes, not hours, someone needs to perform a backout here IMO.
Attached patch Hopeful fix (deleted) — Splinter Review
Still testing this locally. First to review wins. Will land after I or someone else verifies.
That change fixes it for me; my builds are non-clobber, fwiw.
