Description

[Matt Brubeck (:mbrubeck)]

On Debian "stretch" with GCC 5.3.1, Firefox fails to build with the following error:

I submitted this fix upstream: https://github.com/kinetiknz/nestegg/pull/31

The fix is merged upstream, and I don't think this affects the Firefox build in current mozilla-central. (I was accidentally building an old version.)  Closing.
