 > Is there anything I can do to help here? Would it be useful for me to
 rebuild that tag to see if I get differences from the same build machine?
 Maybe you can give --version outputs for the different tools? That way I
 can try to build as close to official as possible.
 Seeing as Tom compared Windows versions we can start with that.

 Also, doing another build from the same tag is appreciated. It will reveal
 temporal differences which would definitely be of interest. I know at
 least Firefox has some diffs regarding the build date.
