Details

We currently have a custom check rule in build/win32/Makefile.in for running binscope:
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/515407ebfa1433c31144374313bbfd8b942af41c/build/win32/Makefile.in#l7

We should just move that to PYTHON_UNITTESTS and get rid of the Makefile.

Oh sorry, I worked on bug 1448306 without noticing this.

No worries, it happens! I think `PYTHON_UNITTESTS` is still the right way to do this. We can make the Python file read $objdir/binaries.json to get a full list of binaries produced by the build system. Unfortunately that list also includes all the test programs we build, so we might need do to some filtering. (Simply ignoring `Test*` would probably get us most of the way there.)

I guess that would replace bug 1450088.

I don't think PYTHON_UNITTESTS would be the right way to do this, especially now that many python unittests have moved out to separate tasks.
Moving the test to the build system itself, after dumping symbols, would be the easiest, and would address bug 1021214 at the same time.
