I did manage to build Firefox 7.01 etc and they were stable but I seem
to have made a mistake in updating the patches as SSL did not work. No
HTTPS pages and Thunderbird couldn't download from a secure location. I
started with Rich's patch queue from Firefox 6 instead of the patch
queue from trunk (which does work) and obviously ifdefed something out
that should have had an else. I meant to compare the patches but never
got around to it and at this point with Firefox 7 being EOL in a couple
of weeks it doesn't seem worth looking at it more.

I think it would be better to focus on Gecko 8 builds at this point.

Turned out the problem was that I was building with libc64. Seems to be
a problem in the include files as every build I've used libc64 has had
this problem. Using the libc63.dll that works as a forwarder to
libc64.dll is fine if built with the libc63 tree. Investigating.
