You have to set objdir, like:

mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/objdir

ma.

When someone finds the fix for this, please let me know.
I've been scouring the web for an answer, all to no avail.

This bug comment has the fix:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/sho_bug.cgi?id=723861#c17

Basically: Delete xpcom/idl-parser/*.pyc in your source directory.

Cheers,
~Daniel

Er, s/sho/show/ in that URL (must've accidentally backspaced the "w"
without noticing):

Should be:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723861#c17

[oldpink]

I appreciate it; I really do, and I found that thread earlier today,
but...

shell> ls xpcom/idl-parser
shell> header.py Makefile.in runtests.py typelib.py xpidl.py

I have NO *.pyc files in that directory, so I have no clue how the fix
linked above can possibly help me.
I even tried by just deleting the *.py files there.
It didn't help one bit.
:(

It's https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736961 but generally
you want to set up objdir in your mozconfig like:

mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/objdir

ma.

Once again, I appreciate you trying, but -- for the life of me -- I
couldn't figure out exactly which file I needed to edit.
There are several "mozconfig" files, all of which I edited, but
nothing worked.
I then tried to put that line in:

browser/config/mozconfigs/linux64/release
browser/config/mozconfigs/linux64/l10n-mozconfig
build/unix/mozconfig.linux

...none of which made a bit of a difference.
What in the world is the deal with this?
Did the Mozilla team just goof up on it, or is something really weird
happen with my Linux system that made Firefox-12 build just fine, but
caused Firefox-13 build to fail every time with the exact same stupid
error?
I get the exact same error when trying to build both Thunderbird and
Seamonkey.
This is getting very frustrating.
:(

[Martin Stransky]

it's ".mozconfig" file in your directory with mozilla sources. If you
don't have any just create it. see
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Configuring_Build_Options

ma.

[oldpink]

I created that file, adding the suggested line to it, and it still
fails.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Mozilla really dropped the ball on this one.
:(

I finally found the patch file to once and for all resolve the build
problem with Firefox 13.
