I mentioned it as I had a problem in February to build firefox doing
pkg_rolling-replace; it didn't pick cbindgen as a package to update,
even if rust was updated; later it worked. It was just a shot in the
dark.

I have built firefox-74-0 twice now (first time on its own, using
whatever rust was at the time, and second time as part of
pkg_rolling-replace).

All my machines with pkgsrc run -current.

In my /etc/mk.conf relevant bits (as far as I can see) are only

PKG_OPTIONS.llvm += -llvm-target-aarch64 -llvm-target-arm
-llvm-target-bpf -llvm-target-hexagon -llvm-target-lanai
-llvm-target-mips -llvm-target-msp430 -llvm-target-nvptx
-llvm-target-powerpc -llvm-target-sparc -llvm-target-systemz
PKG_OPTIONS.rust+= rust-llvm
PKG_OPTIONS.firefox+= official-mozilla-branding


On a side note, firefox-74.0 dumps core for me if I use any OpenGL
stuff (under VirtualBox at least); firefox 73.0.1 works just fine (but
this of course is hardly relevant to your problem).
