I'm trying to building Firefox 52.4.1esr on my Linux from Scratch
system. The system I'm building on has 2 1GHz Pentium III processors and
1GB of RAM. I was unable to build the latest version of Firefox because
I can't run Rust on that system. Version 52.4.1esr was the latest
version I found that could work on a Pentium III. After building Firefox
for a little bit, I get the following error, which I suspect is Python
related:
props2arrays.py main unixcharset.properties.h
.deps/unixcharset.properties.h.pp
/root/sources/firefox-52.4.1esr/intl/locale/unix/unixcharset.properties

I have installed all the recommended dependencies from the Beyond Linux
from Scratch book and installed OpenSSL 1.1.0f before Python 2.7.14. I'm
using GCC 7.2.0 and added -O2 to the enable optimize option as I heard
optimization was broken in the latest GCC. I'm currently using Linux
from Scratch 20170924-systemd.
A solution for this problem is much appreciated.
Thanks.
