 Thanks, I'll try that the next time.

 Attached is the patch. It is against
 fc14747c24c87085f6ca502d1643dd2e7a0ea7a0. Additional things you need to
 to:
 1) put your crosstool.config file into gitian-builder/inputs
 2) run fetch-inputs.sh again
 3) in gitian-builder/inputs/crosstoll-ng you need to checkout the revision
 you want and create a tag (this is currently 'test5' which is mirrored in
 gitian/versions
 4) You need to raise the max_size of the precise VM. I am currently trying
 32GB (32768 as value to --rootsize). Maybe this is enough (I have debug
 output in the crosstool.config disabled). You do that with gitian-
 builder/bin/make-base-vm and the --rootsize paramter in line 76.
 5) Now, remove both *precise*qcow2 files in gitian-builder
 6) Remove the tor-browser-mac32-gbuilt.zip in gitian-builder/inputs
 7) Start the build with
 {{{
 ./mkbundle-mac.sh
 }}}
 again.

 Hope I haven't forgotten something...

 Thanks for the patches I'll take a look at them.
