Details

Currently, layout debug code is not build by default, even when compiling with
--enable-debug set. (This, btw, renders the user_pref xul.debug.box in the
Seamonkey preferences pretty useless!)
We should have either --enable-debug include DEBUG_LAYOUT also or have an
ac_add_options to easily allow DEBUG_LAYOUT to be specified.
And another BTW: DEBUG_LAYOUT is pretty broken, too, at the moment...
Mass reassign of open bugs for chase@mozilla.org to build@mozilla-org.bugs.

The only references to DEBUG_LAYOUT I see today are #ifdef in .h and .cpp files: there's nothing in the build system.

Since 12 years have passed, I'm going to say this bug isn't worth doing.

I've CCd dbaron just in case he has an opinion.
