 No.

 > Also, you've been trying to build crosstool-ng under gitian, is that
 just a question of prepending "sudo torsocks" in front of all the
 crosstool-ng build commands?

 No. 'torsocks' is just used to download the dependencies via Tor.

 Let me know when you are ready (i.e. the VMs are up and you built a Mac
 bundle successfully). I'll send you a patch which you can apply on top of
 your local branch and which should give you the environment I am currently
 using.

 That said, I've been running now into three different issues which are
 likely to due to the gitian build process: 1) the linker got killed 2) not
 enough space on the VM 3) another build failure for yet unknown reasons. I
 fixed 1) and 2) and am currently debugging 3).

 But your latest two commits fixing bashisms seemed to work. I'll test that
 on my Ubuntu VM again as soon as my build machine is not occupied with
 gitian build stuff and will comment on the github bugtracker then.
