Set release status flags based on info from the regressing bug 1695312

:ahochheiden, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 1695312, could you take a look? Also, could you set the severity field?

Are you on the latest central? Your error doesn't make sense based on the the code that's there.

If after updating you're still hitting this, can you share:

• Current revision
• Current mozconfig

Yes, I'm on the latest mozilla-central. After moving the outdated comm-central folder comm/ to other place, I can build without issue. Sorry for the confusion.

No worries! Glad you got it working.
