I don't think of those as critical for -dev right now. > I was assuming that I would get firefox working well, even on youtube, and be able to sort out which of my build changes in the debugging area was actually necessary. If I had got to that point, firefox would have to be flagged up as requiring -j1 without the make changes. With -j8, I can build it in under 13 and a half minutes, -j1 will probably take a lot longer - and on a slow machine it would be extremely tedious.
BUT : I cannot fix the youtube part of firefox. I had it working well in youtube with both 46.0 (forgot to change to 46.0.1 for that build) and then 46.0.1. But reducing my build changes to try to establish which was/were important failed. Now, I have reinstated all three (comment out --enable-stripp and --enable-install-strip, add -g to CXXFLAGS) but it now crashes within 3 seconds of starting to play an html5 video. So, for the moment testers can see the patch and use it if they think it will help. For me, eudev-3.2 seems to work fine (passed both its tests), as does linux-4.6.1 (both for headers and the running kernel). But I agree neither are urgent. ĸen -- I had to walk fifteen miles to school, barefoot in the snow.
