For firefox-63, rustc-1.25.0 was insufficient and mach will reject
it.
I've just put 64.0 into the book a few hours ago - it should render
in a few hours (meanwhile, the link to the patch, if you want to use
that, will not work - the patch is in patches.linuxfromscratch.org).
If you look at trac (wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs) the changelog
points to the ticket for 64.0, and on that I went into some detail
about what needed to be updated, and which older versions were ok.
Unfortunately, the book's version of sqlite changed under me - I'm
sure the new one is good, but one recent version change required an
extra configure switch - and I have not upgraded make-ca to the
current version.
Brief summary - nss (and therefore nspr) need to be current, node.js
is good enough, llvm-6 is good enough for building rustc and firefox
(and faster for building firefox).
