Details

As seen in bug 1401093, in order to build on a 32-bit host, --disable-debug-symbols is needed to avoid rustc running out of memory. It would save quite a bit time and confusion of mach pointed this out when trying to build on a 32-bit host (not just x86 but armv7, too).
Product: Core → Firefox Build System
If we run out of memory generating them, I think we should disable debug symbols automatically when building on 32-bit hosts. (At least for the configurations where we know it won't work.)
