Unlikely without patches, see build logs:

"returned non-zero exit status -4" is the key here. Someone needs to
investigate why www/node fails to run. Try to reduce test case, so it's
easier to test outside of www/firefox build.

www/firefox-esr doesn't use www/node yet but the build still fails due
to (bundled) bindgen using Clang which defaults to libstdc++ from base
and doesn't support C++11. Originally, investigated by Piotr Kubaj.
