1377524 - Add a version check for tup

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Michael Shal [:mshal]]

We'll want to add a version check for tup in configure to make sure an up-to-date tup executable is used. The most recent release is v0.7.5, so that will probably be a good starting point.

We have two checks here - first, to make sure that tup is a recent
enough version, and second to make sure that we're using the ldpreload
dependency checker. The FUSE dependency checker requires user namespaces
to track dependencies when a subprocess uses full paths, and not all
Linux distributions have user namespaces enabled by default.
Additionally, the FUSE filesystem adds significant overhead for I/O
intensive processes (such as linking libxul), which results in a bad
user experience.
