You need at least r247156, that is the clang fix. David just confirmed
that it work for him now.

So the steps to getting a working firefox/seamonkey and probably
thunderbird are.

Update your source tree to anything >= r247156.
Rebuild and install world.
Rebuild firefox/seamonkey/thunderbird.
Profit :)

David, thank you for your support and countless firefox rebuilds :)
