o.k. after some reading and some experimenting,
I finally got firefox to compile all the way without a
memory leak..
here's what I found:
using the default .mozconfig I see during compiling there
is a -O3 in the CFLAGS(mozilla default optimization)
When using my optimization I use -O2
by mistake I accidentally forgot to add the -O2 while
tweaking my .mozconfig for a right CFLAGS to use for
debugging, in doing so firefox compiled all the way.

So using a custom CFLAGS in mozconfig and leaving out
-O* works..

Any ideas what might be happening here?
