I'm not sure why the recursion error is showing up, but since 52 we have
disabled the precompiled startup cache in bug 1351071 [1]. You might be
able to backport that patch and try building with that. Another option
would be to add --disable-startupcache in your mozconfig, but that will
both disable the precompiled cache (which is where you're hitting an error)
and the actual cache at runtime, which I think is not something you'd want
to do.
