Comment (by ken@…):
I finally managed to download 46.0.1 - with the identical mozconfig that I
was using for 47, and the book's instructions, 46 fails fairly quickly.
But 47 [ -j8 ] fails after 3.064 seconds.
The strange thing is that client.mk appears to be the file reporting this
error, but diffing against 46.0.1 shows that code is not new.
From 47.0.1:

And the relevant lines are:
{{{

AUTOCONF = $(shell which fink >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo `which

AUTOCONF=$(error Could not find autoconf 2.13)
}}}
I had hoped to test this before I went to bed, but I'm giving up and
hopefully I'll be doing other things for the next couple of days.
Oh, and when I saw that fedora were using 47 - looks as if they actually
use betas (no surprise there, but the commit message made me think
upstream had cut the release).
Looks as if I should have commented disable-gstreamer ... that doesn't
seem to be what causes that failure.
