The linux64 one could be beta weirdness fallout; I think glandium fixed an error like that...?

Bug 1486998 removed gcc from the toolchains for Linux (32 and 64) opt tasks. Beta simulations fail because of this, the other Try failures are due Linux being broken in artifact builds.

The failure occurs because beta builds get compiled as pgo and pgo still uses gcc: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/6fd2ee9bacf2/build/unix/mozconfig.linux#l10
That got removed here: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/6fd2ee9bacf2#l6.111

This blocks the daily merges of central to beta.

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

sigh. Those linux*/opt builds are annoying to be different on beta. Can we just stop doing them and switch to the pgo or nightly variants instead?
