1476423 - add an --enable-cretonne build flag

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Nathan Froyd [:froydnj]]

We'll turn Cretonne on for Nightly-only at some point, and it'll be a lot easier to do the Cretonne integration generally and control when Cretonne gets flipped on/off specifically if we have a configure flag for such things.

Build peers for the code, sunfish for any comments about naming etc.

We're not turning it on in any configurations; this decision enables developers
to turn in on for themselves to debug errors, etc. and incrementally land
Cretonne-ish things.  We can turn it on for Nightly platforms later.

I heard that the project got renamed to "cranelift" since.

Consider the patches so amended, then. :)

Looks good to me, with Cretonne renamed to Cranelift :).
