Comment:

 I pushed a new version of the patch in branch `bug_16472_v15`, rebased on
 #25862:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_16472_v15&id=cd810c6880433cdffe4dc6ae62cd6d9b322c5285

 In this version, we don't add anymore mingw-w64 wrappers in the nsis
 build. Instead we patch nsis to add the `--no-insert-timestamp` flag.

 I checked that the linux and windows builds are still reproducible on 2
 machines, and that the hardening is still good.
