Comment:

 I verified that we no longer need the armv7 clang.so copy with the latest
 code. Also removed patch from config.

 Replying to [comment:16 gk]:
 > Looks better, but you still have the patch for 1527534 in the config
 file and not deleted while removing it from the build script.
 Additionally, I am wondering why we need the `libclang.so.6` at all and
 then just for arm? Does Mozilla do the same? Could you add a comment on
 elaborating why this is needed for that architecture?

 some nightly builds before we need to release the alpha. But we should fix
 up as many loose ends before that as we can.
