Fail compiling firefox with compiler toolchain in non-standard location
I am trying to build firefox version 68.0 from source using the following options: ```
- Set up the config options
export MOZCONFIG=`pwd`/mozconfig cat > mozconfig << EOF mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j4"
- If you have installed dbus-glib, comment out this line:
- ac_add_options --disable-dbus
- If you have installed dbus-glib, and you have installed (or will install)
- wireless-tools, and you wish to use geolocation web services, comment out
- this line
ac_add_options --disable-necko-wifi
- API Keys for geolocation APIs - necko-wifi (above) is required for MLS
- Uncomment the following line if you wish to use Mozilla Location Service
- ac_add_options --with-mozilla-api-keyfile=$PWD/mozilla-key
- Uncomment the following line if you wish to use Google's geolocaton API
- (needed for use with saved maps with Google Maps)
- ac_add_options --with-google-api-keyfile=$PWD/google-key
- Uncomment this line if you have installed startup-notification:
- ac_add_options --enable-startup-notification
- Uncomment the following option if you have not installed PulseAudio
ac_add_options --disable-pulseaudio
- and uncomment this if you installed alsa-lib instead of PulseAudio
ac_add_options --enable-alsa
- If you have installed GConf, comment out this line
ac_add_options --disable-gconf
- The BLFS editors recommend not changing anything below this line:
ac_add_options --prefix=/scratch/local/firefox-68.0 ac_add_options --enable-application=browser
ac_add_options --disable-crashreporter ac_add_options --disable-updater
- enabling the tests will use a lot more space and significantly
- increase the build time, for no obvious benefit.
ac_add_options --disable-tests
- Optimization for size is broken with gcc7 and later
ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2"
ac_add_options --enable-official-branding
- From firefox-61 system cairo is not supported
ac_add_options --enable-system-ffi ac_add_options --enable-system-pixman
- From firefox-62 --with-pthreads is not recognized
ac_add_options --with-system-bz2
- ac_add_options --with-system-jpeg
- ac_add_options --with-system-png
ac_add_options --with-system-zlib
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/firefox-build-dir EOF
```

in /home/linuxbrew/.linux and the build setting works previously with firefox 64.0. It seems the build system is looking for dependency in /usr/lib, which contains ancient version of compiler toolchain that can't build firefox. How do I tell the build system to exclude looking into /usr/lib at all?
