Description:
I cannot compile Firefox 48.0 using the PKGBUILD from Arch testing.
The build process stops at

==> Beginne build()...
client.mk:114: *** Fehlender Trenner. Schluss.

So, a missing separator error in line 114 of client.mk:

113: MOZCONFIG_CONTENT := $(subst ||,$(CR),$(subst || ,$(CR),$(shell $(addprefix MOZ_CURRENT_PROJECT=,$(MOZ_CURRENT_PROJECT)) MOZ_PGO=$(MOZ_PGO) $(TOPSRCDIR)/mach environment --format=client.mk | sed 's/$$/||/')))
114: $(eval $(MOZCONFIG_CONTENT))

Note that I don't know anything about coding.
This task depends upon

Error in english? Use LC_ALL=C

FWIW, I just built it without a problem.

Weird. I must have borked my system.
I built firefox 47.0.1 a month ago without a problem, now I can't build either 47.0.1 or 48.0.
Maybe I'm missing something?
Makedepends are up to date.

Do you build from a path that contains spaces?

Okay guys, this can be closed.
I redownloaded the source files and now it works.
There was probably a formatting error in mozconfig (new line, spaces, carriage returns), still can't figure out what exactly. Maybe I used a bad text editor to edit the file. I diffed the files and couldn't see anything that would prevent a build. Anyway, thanks!
