[Dave Chand]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041121 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041121 Firefox/1.0

if I have the following line in my mozconfig

mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/firefox_optimized_build_dir

 my build fails on os x panther, when building firefox. The script complains it
cannot find composer directory while building in the editor directory

If I let the objects reside in  @TOPSRCDIR@ directory there is not problem with
the build.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.compile firefox 1.0 with  
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/firefox_optimized_build_dir
in the mozconfig file.
2. 
3.
Actual Results:  
the build should fail at some point in the editor directory.

Expected Results:  
compile as it would is I did not specify 
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/firefox_optimized_build_dir
