Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:42 JeremyRand]:
 > This issue is becoming confusing to follow due to the existence of two
 different patches (ARM target with x86 host, versus ARM target with ARM
 host).  May I request that this issue be split into 2 issues?  Both
 patches are independently useful, and I think they should both be merged
 when complete (regardless of which is completed first).  Having 2 separate
 issues for them makes it easier to follow the discussion, and allows the
 issues to be independently closed as fixed whenever the respective patches
 are merged.  (I don't particularly care which patch is assigned to a new
 issue, or if both patches are assigned to a new issue and this issue
 becomes a parent/metaissue.)

 That's a good point. I am fine either way. Maybe having this ticket a
 parent and the respective approaches child tickets seems to be the
 cleanest one?

 > I also now have an ESR 68 patch at https://notabug.org/JeremyRand/tor-
 browser-build/src/armhf-esr68-draft .  It doesn't build yet, and I suspect
 that rebasing it against a newer version of `tor-browser-build` master
 branch is likely to fix a lot of the build issues I'm running into.  I get
 the impression that `tor-browser-build` was in a pretty bad state at the
 point I rebased against, which was August 8.  (Georg, can you confirm that
 the August 8 version of `tor-browser-build` master branch is expected to
 have a lot of problems?)

 Yeah, sorry for the inconvenience. We were barely able to have everything
 ready for having some sort of nightly builds for Linux available at that
 time and just had switched over to esr68. `master` should be in much
 better shape now than it had been at that time.
