I managed to build native Firefox in Ubuntu 19.10 by following the directions 
here: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Simple_Firefox_build/Linux_and_MacOS_build_preparation

Now, also in Ubuntu I'd like to cross compile Firefox for Solaris (either 10 or 
11) SPARC.  But the only information I've been able to find is this: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Cross-compiling_Mozilla

But that contains the disclaimer that "If you have to ask "where do I get... or 
why doesn't 'X' work", then this isn't for you."  So I guess it isn't for me.  
It seems like it should be possible according to the post: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/mozilla.dev.builds/solaris;context-place=topic/mozilla.dev.builds/kAnRhBYi9f0/mozilla.dev.builds/BjfjLJmUQk8/mozilla.dev.builds/BjfjLJmUQk8

"For Solaris, it should still be possible to cross-compile Firefox to SPARC 
from x86."

And Oracle is sending out FF 68 in their Solaris 11.4 updates, so it should 
indeed be possible.  The question is, how?  Can anyone give me some pointers on 
how to do this, more along the lines of the first link above rather than the 
second?  It would be nice if I could just say "./mach build 
--target=solaris-sparc" but something tells me that's not how it works.  Thanks!
