 Alright. bug_18331 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug_18331&id=224788da1289b8084265cc7030bcf48c23246b4d)
 in my tor-browser repo has the .mozconfig changes. bug_18331_chicken_v2
 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/commit/?h=bug_18331_chicken_v2&id=b3f02ae85f9d303902ceb3752d16b73902965ada)
 in my tor-browser-bundle repo has the Gitian changes for review. They are
 producing a working .dmg file (tested on an old OS X 10.6 machine). You
 have to point the `TORBROWSER_TAG` to my bug_18331, though, and take care
 of #14970 manually while testing :).

 That said I have a more elaborate patch in the pipeline (I am doing some
 final testing) which builds our own clang and fixes #18690 as well while
 we are at it. Chances are that it will finally fix #9701, too (currently
 cctools does not want as I would like). I think, even if the latter does
 not hold, we should try that one for Tor Browser, if possible.
