Your rust installation isn't working. That's not a firefox problem.
A build of firefox-65.0.2 worked fine, only firefox-66.0 doesn't work.
Where are you building? Where's your build dir located (filesystem)? Unpack, delete $WORKDIR/firefox/6004_revert-bug1497976_bug1507655.patch ... this will probably "fix" the problem for you but unless we understand why you hit this I am not going to drop this revert.
Yes, removing the patch does indeed make the build run to finish. It seems like Python 2.7 has close_fd=False on subprocess.Popen by default, and that's what runs the configure process. My theory is that close_fds=False leaves those "extra file descriptors" open and rustc tries to read from them, and fails.
The main question is why _you_ are hitting this. Keep in mind that this was the default until FF64 (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1497976). Then, Mozilla changed the code to address a build problem on other platforms. However, this is causing performance regressing, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1507655.
I'll drop the patch.
