I'm a touch confused about the following in the Firefox mozconfig documentation:

    # Do not specify the gold linker which is not the default. It will take
    # longer and use more disk space when debug symbols are disabled.

There seems to be no action to be taken.  Most other lines specify a line to comment/uncomment.  What's a gold linker?

Two other areas:

    # From firefox-61 system cairo is not supported

    ac_add_options --enable-system-ffi
    ac_add_options --enable-system-pixman

Again, there seems no action to be taken.  Are the two ac_add_options lines related to the cairo statement.?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    # From firefox-62 --with-pthreads is not recognized

    ac_add_options --with-system-bz2
    ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg
    ac_add_options --with-system-png
    ac_add_options --with-system-zlib

The same as above.  Are the four ac_add_options lines related to the pthreads statement?

To be clear, the mozconfig file works well, I'm just curious.

Those options used to be in the book. They are clarifications that they have been removed.
