Now, mozilla changed the build system of webrtc to gn a while ago. As it seemed to have been done in a bit of a hurry, they forgot freebsd and aarch64 for example, it's likely the build system change caused this. I'm going to open a bug at mozilla to try to talk with them. This bug here is for tracking and discussion.

Linked upstream bug.

[Comment 4 tt_1 2018-10-04 12:48:39 UTC]

I just finished the rebuilt of firefox-62.0.3 with --disable-webrtc, the compile passed fine.

thanks for pushing the fix into the tree, but let's keep this open for tracking upstreams efforts.

[Comment 7 sakaki 2018-10-21 12:14:30 UTC]

Please see the following forums post:

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8266770.html#8266770

for a patch that allows the firefox webrtc stuff to build for arm64 on firefox-62.0.2 (and for 62.0.3 also, per NeddySeagoon); not sure if something similar might be usable for arm.

hth, sakaki

[Comment 8 tt_1 2019-02-21 19:52:27 UTC]

debian/ubuntu seem to have patches available for this, are you interested into picking them up?

[Comment 9 tt_1 2019-09-15 19:40:21 UTC]

this is fixed for firefox-68.1.0 and thunderbird-68.1.0

I'm going to double test for v69.0

[Comment 10 tt_1 2019-09-15 20:20:04 UTC]

firefox-69.0 is also fixed
