1824320 - mach buildsymbols fails if file command is not installed on the build system

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Jens Stutte [:jstutte]]

This was popping up on our remote dev environments, but it might be an issue also elsewhere.

The file command is used here. But mach bootstrap does not ensure it exists.

:glandium said on matrix:

... we should change the code that uses file to just do the detection itself, we have existing code to do what it's doing
