[fedora-arm] ARM Environment too slow for build

[Basanta Shrestha]

I don't have any intentions to use problematic build myself, just that I
was trying to make things work for me. And I thought I explained my problem
very well but let me try again.
Below is the link to a sugar activity that I want run on XO 1.75
http://download.olenepal.org/Epaath2-248.xo

If you extract the file, you will see a firefox folder which I want to
replace with new set of firefox.
