There are, sadly, many combinations of linkage in use throughout the tree. The main differentiator, though, is between program/libraries related to Gecko or not. Kind of. Some need mozglue, some don't. Some need dependent linkage, some standalone. Anyways, these new templates remove the need to manually define the right dependencies against xpcomglue, nspr, mozalloc and mozglue in most cases. Places that build programs and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_PROGRAM_LDFLAGS or that build libraries and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_LDFLAGS can now just not use those Gecko-specific templates.

To have your bug fix / feature added to Mozilla, you should create a patch and
submit it to Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org). Instructions are at:

If you have a question about developing Mozilla, and can't find the solution
on http://developer.mozilla.org, you can try asking your question in a
mozilla.* Usenet group, or on IRC at irc.mozilla.org. [The Mozilla news groups
are accessible on Google Groups, or news.mozilla.org with a NNTP reader.]
You can download nightly development builds from the Mozilla FTP server.
Keep in mind that nightly builds, which are used by Mozilla developers for
testing, may be buggy. Firefox nightlies, for example, can be found at:
