Great, thanks! I'll comment after building (so the usual 3 - 16 hours ;D).

Something I noticed in the past: A succesful build for Chromium depends on
the system libraries we use. The last version broke a while back when icu4c
got updated I think.
So changes need to be adjusted. We can not know when this happens, but we
can act when it happens.
