Firefox's version has changed apparently, so not only does it not build, but I'll have to flag this out of date.

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
Aborting...
@texer22 I'm not sure why paru are failing to build. Can you try with devtools extra-x86_64-build ?
Cannot build.
The error occurred in mach itself. This is likely a bug in mach itself or a
fundamental problem with a loaded module.
You can invoke ``./mach busted`` to check if this issue is already on file. If it
isn't, please use ``./mach busted file general`` to report it. If ``./mach busted`` is
misbehaving, you can also inspect the dependencies of bug 1543241.
If filing a bug, please include the full output of mach, including this error
message.
The details of the failure are as follows:

@figue Worked with 4GB+30GiB swap, will probably work for you too

I am not using Icecat but maybe you want to read this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=290946
I want to apologize. _only-compile was a test and I forgot to remove it (I have a new charge in the company I work and I'm a bit busy).
I have removed _only-compile. Changed enable-lto=cross.
Would you mind to test it again? I'll test it too (I have 16 Gb RAM here with 10 GB swap, should be enough?)
Think it's best to add a flag so that PGO can be optional
It's already in the PKGBUILD near the beginning (lines 9-10). To disable PGO, set an environment variable: _build_pgo=false makepkg
Most Firefox-based browsers currently have PGO enabled without option to disable (eg, firefox-nightly). I suppose users who bother to build them are assumed to have the resources to do so. I tried measuring memory usage for both normal and PGO builds, and they both appear to use about the same amount of memory. In the logs, there are lines that look like:
Parallelism determined by memory: using 128 jobs for 128 cores based on 251.5 GiB RAM and estimated job size of 1.0 GiB
On machines with different number of cores and RAM that I tried, looks like the 1 GiB/job estimate is reasonably accurate. That usage is above baseline. So a system with 16 GiB baseline usage, 32 cores, 32 GiB RAM will run out of memory with 32 jobs. This scenario would need over 48 GiB. I would allocate double the GiB as cores to be "safe".
@figue Successfully built on my stronger pc with ~50GB swap (probably didn't need this much but previously ~30GB swap failed), not sure exactly how long it took because I had to leave it on overnight but it was still 4 hours + some. I can easily say that for any modern laptop this is still going to take over 20hrs to compile.
Think it's best to add a flag so that PGO can be optional as it won't be practical to build for most people, e.g env _PGO=true _SPEED=Y _LOCALE=en-CA makepkg -sirc
@rev.cressy The output folder is supposed to be created by makeicecat on line 109. However, _only-compile is an invalid variable name, which prevents the block from being run.

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.
