The current build logic only works on Win32.  Shebs, I know you looked at this, do you have anything you could post here as a starting point?
Ok, this patch works for me.  It makes us build the dump_syms tool, and use it in |make buildsymbols|.  I had to tweak a few things in make_symbol_store.pl, since the .sym file MODULE line changed a bit.  That means I'll have to checkin a new dump_syms.exe for Windows as well.  I don't know how this interacts with Universal builds.  I do know that the OS X dump_syms offers an architecture flag, so you can call it with |-a ppc| or |-a x86|, so it might be that we need to run it one per arch.  Mark, any insight you can offer on that?
A universal build is really just two thin builds.  Figure out if you're targeting x86 or ppc and always call dump_syms with an architecture argument.  You should also make sure that your dump_syms is built with the host tools, not the target tools, to ensure that it'll run on a ppc build host during the x86 cross portion of a universal build.
Yeah, I figured I needed to change that to a HOST_PROGRAM.  My only concern is that we're running dump_syms in a post-build step:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/tools/tinderbox/post-mozilla-rel.pl#1298

So how do we know what objdir to make in?

Nevermind, bsmedberg pointed out this lovely bit of Tinderbox code to me:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/tools/tinderbox/post-mozilla-rel.pl#1213

So my current plan is:
1) In mozilla/Makefile.in, detect universal builds, and pass -a ppc,i386 to make-symbol-store.pl
2) In make-symbol-store.pl, loop running dump_syms for each arch specified after -a, and pass that to dump_syms.

If someone is doing a non-universal build, and I don't pass -a to dump_syms, it will just do the right thing, right?
Attached patch with universal build support (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Ok, this adds universal build support.  dump_syms is built as a HOST_PROGRAM, the list of architectures is passed to make_symbol_store.pl, and it calls dump_syms once per arch.  In addition, this patch changes the UB flight.mk to not strip the binaries when they are merged into a UB, so we can dump the UB.  They will still get stripped in the final packaging.

Whoops, forgot to diff new files.  As I mentioned before, I will also need to checkin a new dump_syms.exe along with this patch.

with universal build support

You don't need quotes around ./dist any more than you'd need them around, say, -prune.  You also don't need the ./ .

>+ -o -name "*.dll" -o -name "*.EXE" | sed "s/\.[^\.]*$$/\.pdb/"

Indent a bit more to make it clearer that it's a continuation?

This might not work with a pure cross build - say you're on a ppc host building for x86, the ppc dump_syms will try to dump ppc, but there is no ppc code to dump.  How about setting MAKE_SYM_STORE_ARGS to -a whatever depending on the target architecture in the non-UNIVERSAL_BINARY case?

We've taken to referring to what we used to call guid+age or uuid+age as "identifier" now, since there might not be uuid or guid components at all.  You may want to say so somewhere.

Attached patch with mark's comments (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Addressed Mark's comments, I use -a $(OS_TEST) in the non-universal case.  I need to make sure this still works on Win32, and then I'll check it in.

This fixes the test Makefile as well, which is what caused the bustage last night.  Checked in again.
