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. ĸen -- I had to walk fifteen miles to school, barefoot in the snow.
