Well I'm not sure what's going on with RUST and LLVM, and the option wasn't on 
when I checked the config, but I'll try rebuild it, and let you know...

Also, someone asked for the install log... I guess there's no need for it since 
it's a known issue ( I lost it  ._. )...

I was also having problems compiling www/firefox-ecr except with the default 
build settings; again, I tried a bunch of combinations, including not building 
components written in RUST, and it failed every single time...  I'm very 
frustrated at this, but Chromium doesn't compile either, Opera doesn't work 
properly and is outdated, and I just plain want to use Firefox...  It's just 
the best and most sensible and versatile option...

I'm kinda pissed because I've been trying to build it for two whole days now 
(and I have insomnia because of a medication right now), and this right after I 
decide to wipe my system to rebuild the filesystem and datasets, and remove all 
binary packages I had mixed with ports (someone said on the forum it wasn't a 
good idea to mix-and-match, and I prefer ports, anyway... I think it's probably 
more performant this way, but I could be wrong).  I built Xorg and PulseAudio 
without major problems, but now I'm trying to build what are probably the most 
popular pieces of software on the planet - not just on FreeBSD - and it just 
keeps borking, it's kind of disappointing...  I don't really need my commitment 
to be tested right now, I need to find stability because this is starting to 
affect my life...  I'm feeling messy/dirty...  : [

Thanks for listening....  : \

... and for helping...  : D

When I have something working, and/or when I've completely given-up, I'll run 
the build one last time for each, and send you the logs.  Thanks for letting me 
know about the RUST thing, and I just wanted you guys to know I hadn't 
forgotten about you, I'm just trying to build various ways, and sometimes I 
build other things in between since it's a new system, lots of catching-up and 
configuring to do...  Can't wait to have a working, stable, fully-functional, 
fully-optimized Firefox binary I can use on this system...  Crazy how much goes 
on through just the browser, how big a place it has in probably not just my 
life...  FreeBSD helps with that, I was suffocating in Windows, and had to 
reset it, which is why I'm back since the KMS video drivers are completed... 
not unhappy...  Despite this, I'm still happy about FreeBSD, how far it's come, 
how strong, and oriented it is, how committed and capable the people working on 
it are, and what kind of individual they are...  I'm rambling, I need sleep, 
and a hug...  -_-  I'm so tired, but I can't fall asleep..... fml.

That's wrong one. https://bugs.freebsd.org/223342 is the one about PORT_LLVM 
regression
which affects www/firefox build (as opposed to runtime).
