Note that this landed on inbound yesterday and was merged to m-c this morning. If you get strange build errors (bkelly already reported one due to missing the glXGetCurrentContext symbol) it might be because of this. Adding ac_add_options --disable-webrender to your mozconfig should work around it, but please file a bug as well and mark it blocking bug 1342450. Thanks!
