This started happening after I pulled today.

# CWD is the root of the tree.
# Use the same .mozconfig I always do...
$ export MOZCONFIG=.mozconfig-release

# Verify it exists.
$ ls -l $MOZCONFIG

# Work-around - set MOZCONFIG to a FQ path:
$ export MOZCONFIG=/o/src/mozilla-git/central/.mozconfig-release

# Build now works
