Details

bug 886526 made msvc use a lot more memory to do a ltcg + pgo link of libxul by reordering the order of the static libraries we link into libxul it seems like we can probably come up with a better order than the psuedo random one we have today.
It also means whatever we do in bug 879837, we must keep this in mind.

A few simple orderings we could test (off the top of my head): 1) Order by size 2) Order by dependency
Product: Core → Firefox Build System

We don't use the MSVC linker anymore.
