l10n repacks failed due to 2 reasons (so far):

1) (Linux) automation assumes to find tooltool.py under /builds (mock!), but these slaves are centos5 based, no mock. I fixed this by symlinking /tools/tooltool.py to /builds on the following hosts (from slavealloc):

linux-ix-slave04.build.mozilla.org
linux-ix-slave05.build.mozilla.org
linux64-ix-slave01.build.mozilla.org
linux64-ix-slave02.build.mozilla.org
linux64-ix-slave05.build.mozilla.org
linux64-ix-slave06.build.mozilla.org
linux-ix-slave01.build.mozilla.org
linux-ix-slave03.build.mozilla.org
linux-ix-slave06.build.mozilla.org
linux64-ix-slave03.build.mozilla.org
linux64-ix-slave04.build.mozilla.org
bld-centos5-32-vmw-001.build.mozilla.org
bld-centos5-32-vmw-002.build.mozilla.org
bld-centos5-32-vmw-003.build.mozilla.org
bld-centos5-32-vmw-004.build.mozilla.org
bld-centos5-32-vmw-005.build.mozilla.org
bld-centos5-32-vmw-006.build.mozilla.org

2) http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/rev/15c4d43e63bd#l3.133 forces to use in-tree mozconfigs for l10n. We can update the in-tree mozconfigs and proceed with build#2 or add a work around in our automation. Patch for the latter incoming.

I'm looking at all the changes that have landed for l10n since 17.0.8esr. With Rail's patch we will also need to do
 -ac_add_options --with-l10n-base=../../mozilla-release
 +ac_add_options --with-l10n-base=../../l10n
in buildbot-configs/mozilla2/*/mozilla-esr17/release/l10n-mozconfig

This is from inspection of changes in the tools repo since FIREFOX_17_0_8esr_RELEASE, for create-release-repacks.py and everything it imports (only 1 level of depth followed). It avoids needing to changing any mozconfigs in buildbot-configs, which will hopefully make things easier for Thunderbird too.
