Details

We have a special-case in the libxul makefile to wrap the linker execution in a special script that prints output every so often so that automation builds don't get killed for not producing output when they're just taking forever to link libxul: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/77a4c52e9987d2359969d7c478183b438b464744/toolkit/library/Makefile.in#l11 We could probably just make the build system do this for every linker invocation and get rid of that special case.
... or not do it at all, and set LINK to "path/to/link.py path/to/link.exe" on automation via mozconfig.
That seems like it'd also be fine.
It looks like we'll be able to take care of this by removing it altogether.
