 There's two answers to this question.
-'''Locally''': (to be answered)
+'''Locally''': Inside your mozconfig, you can set the following like <tt>export FOO="bar"</tt>
+* CC - C compiler used to compile firefox
+* CFLAGS
+* CPPFLAGS
+* HOST_CC - used to compile utilities that will run on the build machine
+* HOST_CFLAGS
+* CXX / HOST_CXX - C++ compiler
+* CXXFLAGS / HOST_CXXFLAGS
+* LLVM_CONFIG
+* RUSTC / CARGO / RUSTDOC / RUSTFMT / CBINDGEN
+Less commonly you may need to set
+* AR / AS / RANLIB / STRIP / OTOOL / OBJCOPY / LIPO / NASM / NODEJS / MAKECAB
+* BINDGEN_CFLAGS - for rust bindgen
+You may also need to set:
+* <tt>ac_add_options --with-toolchain-prefix=foo</tt> - used for a cross compile. [https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/3300072e993ae05d50d5c63d815260367eaf9179/browser/config/mozconfigs/win32/mingwclang#32 example]
+* mk_add_options "export PATH=directory:$PATH" - to add more PATHs
+* LD_LIBRARY_PATH - [https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/3300072e993ae05d50d5c63d815260367eaf9179/browser/config/mozconfigs/win32/mingwclang#62-63 as shown here]
 '''In Try''': (to be answered)
+You may also need to set
+<tt>ac_add_options --disable-warnings-as-errors</tt> - if your compiler produces new warnings, we may treat them as errors and abort. This will stop that.
