Librewolf Upgrade Failed | Firefox does not support linking statically

I recently tried to upgrade my system with all core, extra, AUR repos using `yay -Syu`.
All packages upgraded successfully but Librewolf compilation was unsuccessful because of this error.

```
0:08.34 checking whether the C++ compiler supports -fno-aligned-new... yes
0:08.68 checking whether we're trying to statically link with libstdc++... yes
0:08.69 E ERROR: Firefox does not support linking statically with libstdc++
0:08.81 E *** Fix above errors and then restart with "./mach build"
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
-> error making: librewolf-exit status 4
-> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
librewolf - exit status 4
```

This is a recent occurance as I've compiled and upgraded `librewolf` package in past and this is the only time it failed like this.
Current Librewolf Version is
librewolf 1:152.0.4_1-1

Don't use yay, makepkg from a fresh checkout of the AUR package. Then please post the entire output and please use [code][/code] tags, the BBS predates markdown.
