@figue : By default isn't installed, but... PKGBUILD refers to lld package:
akedepends=(m4 unzip zip diffutils python2-setuptools python-jsonschema yasm mesa imake inetutils
xorg-server-xvfb autoconf2.13 rust clang llvm jack gtk2
python nodejs python2-psutil cbindgen nasm wget mercurial git lld perl-rename)
So "makepkg -sr" installs.
@cysp74 do you have lld package installed?
@figue:
My second attempt placed in absolutely clean directory, started by "git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/icecat.git", blabla and failed.
But I pulled through after nth try after installation of llvm stuffs + rust from testing repo: clang-13.0.0-2 compiler-rt-13.0.0-1 lib32-llvm-libs-13.0.0-1 llvm-13.0.0-2 llvm-libs-13.0.0-2 rust-1:1.56.1-1
Pretty weird, (ofcoz I forgot to include the most important line into my previous comment):
0:01.85 DEBUG: Executing: /usr/bin/clang -std=gnu99 -fuse-ld=lld -Wl,--version
0:01.85 ERROR: Could not use lld as linker
So, I'll be vigilant and make new test once those packages above will be pushed into regular repo.
@cysp74 can you build in a clean chroot?
Heya,

@dale6998 something in your $PATH seems not "correct". Can you check it?
@Ningen yeah, I saw it. The orphan request only is accepted if a maintainer is not active or is doing something that is against Arch rules. In this case, as you said, the only way is some TU take care of it or become TU. Unfortunately I don't know any other TU who can sponsor me.
The right way I think is go to IRC or Arch's forums and request it. Feel free to promote it if you like.
this fails to build with this message:
find: The current directory is included in the PATH environment variable, which is insecure in combination with the -execdir action of find. Please remove the current directory from your $PATH (that is, remove ".", doubled colons, or leading or trailing colons)
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
Aborting...

@figue As per the email you got CC'd in, there are only two ways for the package to be put in the community repo, either a current TU adopts it (Do you know any?) or you become a TU yourself.
Would you be willing to become a TU?
@Ningen hahaha no, I didn't thought of becoming a TU for now. But you can request to TU community to move this package to community repo. It will be great indeed.
@figue I actually have had the thought for a long time why this package is not in community repo..., have you thought of becoming a TU for ArchLinux? I think you will be great. This is a very important package that should be available to all without the hassle of compiling yourself every time. We should really get this in the community repo, then pacman can install the precompiled binary each time instead of doing this long 2 hours compile process!

PKGBUILD has been updated. Major changes:
Notes:
_build_pgo_xvfb=false. This will usexwayland-runfor profiling._build_pgo=false.mk_add_options MOZ_PARALLEL_BUILD=___around line 300. Pick a value less than number of cores and free RAM in GB. For example, on a system with 8 cores, 64GB total RAM, but only 6 GB free, the value should be set to 4 or 5.libxul.so. Leave a comment if you have a potential solution.Having problems? Please provide details: processor make and model, number of cores,
free -m, full log in pastebin, whether using AUR helper/makepkg/clean chroot, etc.
