Details

During the mozilla-aurora cycle, the bug 1206771 didn't bit us. 
When we moved m-a into m-b, we had the build failing because of this bug.

Maybe -Werror=unused-but-set-variable is set only on m-b and not on m-a?

Anyway, this should be enabled on nightly, aurora, etc
The only code using the variable was |MOZ_DIAGNOSTIC_ASSERT(!reentrantFlag);|, and that's not supposed to have any effect on beta/release (see https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/9ed17db42e3e46f1c712e4dffd62d54e915e0fac/mfbt/Assertions.h#298)

So this seems expected.

But does seem like a bit of a footgun to have it cause errors like bug 1206771 upon uplift...
