 Yes, that was kind of intentional at this point for making sure we stay a)
 closer to esr60 as it is right now and, more importantly, b) I had issues
 to get the wrapper compiled on 32bit due to some weird header inclusion
 issue. So, I decided to leave that at the moment.

 Yes, I am not surprised given that we build clang differently, and don't
 copy gcc stuff over. I think at some point we want to match Mozilla
 closer, given the grown importance of clang for Firefox builds, but not in
 that bug. I opened #29041 for that.

 Those four items look interesing, though...
