The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox Build System::General' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hmm, why are you building a Firefox that's so old? Can you build the current central (or, at oldest, the current ESR 91.7.1) instead?

I need old versions for compatibility/legacy testing suites. However, this issue can be closed, after carefully going through the whole build files, I saw, all dependencies are shipped with the commit (using git) however one has to delete all .git ignore files, otherwise files get mixed up with different commits.
