While we were connecting both the Android and the Gecko build systems, we broke the build from the top level directory. This part of the code base remains brittle. Let's add this CI task in the next cycle so we're immediately aware of the next breakage. This way, developers won't checkout the latest mozilla-central while not being able to build from the root directory anymore.
