By default, the build now works for i686 but is _much_ larger on
x86_64. Having lost interest in i686 ages ago, I find the extra
space used in x86_64 (and potentially more pressure on memory when
using a machine with many cores but not much RAM) disturbing.
But I don't see how we can suit both, unless we restore the comment,
but then add a conditional block later (for i686) with
echo "ac_add_options --disable-debug-symbols" >>mozconfig
In my own builds I often use a mozconfig simiar to the book, but
then selectively add lines like that to alter the config.
