 Replying to [comment:6 mingwandroid]:
 > I am looking into this now. If there's some patches or (better) a branch
 that's setup to use ESR 24 please point me to it.

 The easiest thing is probably to test the current setup with ESR 17 as I
 expect not much trouble switching to ESR 24 once we get ESR 17 cross-
 compiled. So, downloading and trying a vanilla ESR 17 from ftp.mozilla.org
 seems good enough to me or take the tor-browser repo you already cloned
 for getting the gitian builds running. That said, there is a ESR 24 branch
 that contains at least some of the already rebased patches and built on
 Linux and Windows last time I tried:

 https://git.torproject.org/user/mikeperry/tor-browser.git

 I tested the binaries you linked to in one of your last mails with your
 sample C++ file and the respective arguments but it failed again (it could
 not find the libstdc++). Not sure what's wrong here. Maybe I should use
 your newer binaries?
