Comment(by Quozl):

 What you see is the results of the gradual execution of prelink.
 libmozjs.so starts at 1062868 bytes here, and if it is manually prelinked,
 the size increases to 1064688.
 {{{
 prelink /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1/libmozjs.so
 }}}
 the change can be undone:
 {{{
 prelink --undo /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1/libmozjs.so
 }}}
 The presence of prelink in our builds means that additional disk space
 will be required over the initial few days of use of the system.  This may
 not be what we want.

 /etc/cron.daily/prelink is responsible for a daily attempt to prelink.

 Please temporarily remove the prelink package before starting the test;
 see if that prevents the symptom.

 We might want to add a prelink-everything to the build, but there will be
 a cost in disk space and size of the build files.
