The topobjdir-finding logic in mozbuild relies on MOZ_CURRENT_PROJECT being set, and it's currently only set when going through client.mk. On automation, during universal builds, make check is invoked directly in one of the objdirs, so MOZ_CURRENT_PROJECT is not set. We've had other similar problems in the past. Ensuring MOZ_CURRENT_PROJECT is set in the objdir itself should reduce the risk of other such issues in the future.

To have your bug fix / feature added to Mozilla, you should create a patch and

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:
