Another great effect of this change is that it finally fixes the issue
of constantly running out of virtual address space when linking Win32
builds: https://bugzilla
Firefox is switching its AV1 implementation to dav1d, a new,
multithreaded AV1 decoder. dav1d requires nasm >= 2.10, which means that
it will become a build-time dependency of Firefox.
mach bootstrap will automatically install nasm, and it is also available
in most package managers. Building witho
nasm is now preferred over yasm if it's detected at configure time.
Note that compilation will currently fail if a very old nasm is
installed. If this happens, either update nasm (such as via mach
bootstrap), or remove it, and then rerun mach configure.

nasm is now required for building on Linux.
A configure check was missed, so if you are missing nasm, you will see
this error:
make[4]: *** No rule to make target '../../media/libdav1d/asm/config.o',
needed by 'libxul.so'. Stop.
This bug tracks adding the configure check:

At the time of writing it was, but we now need 2.13. The configure
script doesn't check for that either, I will make a note of it in the
bug to fix this detection.

There is a toolchai

I just made one:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1521186
It has two deps, on making the actual toolchain scripts.

It is a dependency for dav1d, our AV1 decoder.
It looks like a bump of the dav1d version increased the minimum to 2.14.
