The gcc-6.1 build is fine.  On gcc-5.3.0 I've rebooted.  I've now
managed to paste the mozconfig instructions in two stages (most of
it, then last 8 lines).  But the selected lines only get highlighted
when I change to another window, e.g. the term where I'm pasting.

*I* can't use that! (e.g. for copying instructions in general).
Will have to rebuild it on this slow box to find out if one of the
patches breaks it - the alternative is that the gcc-6 flags are
screwingg it up.
