I cloned comm-esr60 for tb and mozilla and it built OK it seems. (Couldn't get a pull of esr60 to work with my existing local comm-central tree.) Anyhow when I try to run it, it fails and all I see is 

Couldn't load XPCOM.

I also updated by existing comm-central tree to latest trunk and it builds and runs OK.
 
Probably a shared lib problem. It appears all the libs are in placing including libxul.so. Can't find much on bugzilla or google other than "reinstall".

edited 2019-2-28: Tried this again and still got "Couldn't load XPCOM" after clone and build of comm-esr60. The problem is that when I run mozilla-esr60/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/bin/thunderbird it is a symlink pointing to mozilla-esr60/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/comm/mail/app/thunderbird binary and XPCOM isn't found there. But if I run mozilla-esr60/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/bin/thunderbird-bin binary (not a symlink and same as .../app/thunderbird), tb runs since the libs are in the same path. I don't see this problem when I clone and build comm-central since symlinks aren't used (both .../bin/thunderbird and .../bin/thunderbird-bin are real files and identical.
