 As mentioned in comment:20:ticket:28238 we have files that are not built
 reproducibly with the new `mingw-w64-clang` toolchain. It affects not all
 binaries, though, only firefox.exe, libGLESv2.dll, mozglue.dll, plugin-
 container.exe, plugin-hang-ui.exe, and xul.dll.

 This is still an issue after switching to clang, lld etc. 8.0.0.
