I just tried setting up an Ubuntu 16.04 VM and building it on there. I'm
getting nowhere there. I did run "wget -O bootstrap.py
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py
&& python bootstrap.py" in order to set up the Linux build environment.
My sources are located at /home/<username>/Documents/nss-3.25/
----------------
In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:0,
from ../../config/now.c:6:
/usr/include/features.h:367:25: fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or
directory
compilation terminated
../../config/rules.mk:446: recipe for target 'now.o' failed
make[2]: *** [now.o] Error 1

----------------
Clearly, I'm missing something. My lack of experience compiling programs from
source shows, I know it.
It would be easier if Mozilla actually made binaries of its useful utilities
available. Systems administrators are frequently not programmers.
