 I don't know how we should or can test that X is available or not.
 Please note I don't think that we should remove PGO from the port in
 general I propose to remove it only from OPTIONS. Although I do not have
 numbers what we gain with PGO from my subjective experience when using
 Firefox I think it act faster when building with PGO.
