Firefox Debug Build difficulties

I'm trying to debug a problem (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26363) that I'm having with with firefox, and so I need a version with the symbols left in. I am having difficulty getting this.

I tried compiling with options=(!strip) in the PKGBUILD, adding to the mozconfig file the following lines:

export MOZ_DEBUG_SYMBOLS=1
ac_add_options --enable-debug-symbols="-ggdb"
ac_add_options --enable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-optimize

And tossed in

  export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g -O1"
  export CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -g -O1"

after the sed in the default PKGBUILD (just for good measure).

I ran into the xpcshell problem (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27729) so I installed devtools and ran

sudo extra-i686-build

inside the folder with the PKBUILD.

It built a package, I installed it, and when I ran gdb, I found that I had no luck.

$ gdb /usr/bin/firefox

Reading symbols from /usr/bin/firefox...(no debugging symbols found)...done.

Naive thought: Is it something to do with the extra-i686-build? It looks like it uses all the local and modified files, so I don't know why it would be that. On a related note, is there a way to get extra-i686-build to use a clean chroot but take advantage of the old compile? It takes nine hours on my machine to compile from start to finish, it seems.

TIA,
majiq.

post the entire mozconfig

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
