The last few times I've tried to build Servo it's failed for me. (It's also one the very few rust projects that have ever failed to build for me).

On a Linux system or something else? Iirc a proper build uses spider money which is hell to build/embed.

Yeah, it's a Linux system. I can't remember if it was spidermonkey that it failed on or not. Though it sounds like maybe they should consider using another JavaScript engine if it's causing problems.

If you can, try again (don't forget to start with `./mach bootstrap` to install dependencies) and open an issue if the build fails. SpiderMonkey is shipped pre-compiled for most architectures, so it's not a big hurdle in terms of build time.
