Okay, I have generated a VM using VirtualBox of Ubuntu version 16.  I've had to restart the build process a couple of times, since the hard drive was 10GB, then 20GB.  Now I am using a 50GB box, so it may work this time.

Should we create the branch using the -b command? ('git checkout -b tbb-8.0a9-build3'?) Otherwise, it complains about being headless.

Right, the README says "To build Tor Browser, you need a Linux
distribution that has support for runc (such as Debian jessie, Ubuntu
16.04, Fedora 20, etc ...)."

The tag I suggested, tbb-8.0a9-build3, is the tag of the most recent
alpha release (I think). I haven't tried building it myself--if it
doesn't work, you may just need to try a different tag. One of the Tor
Browser devs could suggest an alternative if it doesn't work on the
first try.
