 It looks as if firefox-103 updated the profile.

 The minimum version of node-js has now been updated to v12.22.1, unfortunately that fell out of support in April of this year, v14, v16 and (not yet LTS) v18 have had vulnerability fixes since then.

 From firefox-95 on, the build system wants to use "wasi-sysroot" to sandbox  some of the shipped libraries (by converting to wasm and then back to sandboxed C). That will require, amongst other things, llvm built for WebAssembly (that is default, but BLFS does not enable it), wasi-libc [https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-libc], some other supporting packages, and using clang instead of gcc. If you want to do that, look at what Arch is doing.
 
-For the moment, g++ can be used if you pass --without-wasm-sandboxed-libraries.
+For the moment, g++ can be used if you pass --without-wasm-sandboxed-libraries but the changes in gcc-12 mean that the book has moved to using clang++, still without wasm.

 The early betas for 92.0 and 93.0 needed static libstdc++.a to link logalloc-replay (that specifies -static-libstdc++). In later betas that was not compiled. While using a static system lib (outside of rust) is annoying, the expected lifetime of a firefox beta is short and this requirement can be remembered if a vulnerability in libstdc++ is ever disclosed. I assume this requirement will continue for early betas (those where EARLY_BETA_OR_EARLIER is defined in build/defines.sh).
