regarding firefox requiring gnu as from binutils, this is due to nss' freebl. there are three different files forcing -no-integrated-as if CC is set to clang. i assume these flags were put out there ages ago when clang couldn't assemble intel-gcm.s because patching out every mention of -no-integrated-as in freebl allows firefox to be built in a system where there's no gas. i can send in a pr if requested.

I'm interested, send in the patch.
