 the package list of the stretch machine I used. In fact, you have access
 to it, too, it's the TPO build machine. In case you want to make more
 elaborate queries to figure out what the important difference here is.

 `069c880961e93fe2f5052ae6d428b2f9efdd1d4e`, after installing all the
 packages from comment 13, I have x86 and armv7 apk files matching the ones
 I built on an other machine with containers.

 Will do.

 > Also, did you do alpha or nightly builds? In my case I did alpha builds,
 as it makes it easier to be sure both machines are using the same commits.

 Nightlies. But that should not matter much here as the Firefox libs where
 different and I used the same Firefox commit for both builds. But I can
 try doing an alpha one.
