Error running mach:

The error occurred in code that was called by the mach command. This is either
a bug in the called code itself or in the way that mach is calling it.
You can invoke |./mach busted| to check if this issue is already on file. If it
isn't, please use |./mach busted file| to report it. If |./mach busted| is
misbehaving, you can also inspect the dependencies of bug 1543241.

If filing a bug, please include the full output of mach, including this error
message.

The details of the failure are as follows:

Exception: Process executed with non-0 exit code 1: ['/dev/disco2/gecko-dev-release/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/_virtualenvs/init/bin/python', '/dev/disco2/gecko-dev-release/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/config.status']

This issue is the one currently being investigated in 1643162. Let's continue the investigation there

Comment 3

[Nathan Froyd [:froydnj]]

The symbols_link_arg error is different than hg checkout errors, and it should have been addressed by bug 1637957...but I suppose gecko-dev is too old to have picked up that fix. :(

[Mitchell Hentges [:mhentges] 🦀]

There's a bunch of information about the "hg checkout" errors in bug 1643162, but a different bug was created to represent those issues over in bug 1643823.

But, I think you're right about bug 1637957 potentially being the cause of the symbols_link_arg error! I think fabrixx2 should compare the results of ./mach build between gecko-dev and the "real" mozilla-central. I don't think we'll be able to do that comparison until fabrix22 is able to do an hg clone again.
