Comment (by tom):

 This is the ulimit problem I am grappling with:

 In the build log:

 > 22:54.42
 /var/tmp/dist/mingw-w64/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/6.4.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld:
 cannot find
 /var/tmp/dist/mingw-w64/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/6.4.0/crtend.o: Too
 many open files

 In the container:

 > debug-firefox$ ulimit -n
 > 1024

 Outside the container:

 > cat /etc/security/limits.conf
