 In the ESR 24 tor-browser repo in configure.in you change
 {{{
 MOZ_ENABLE_PROFILER_SPS=1
 }}}
 to
 {{{
 MOZ_ENABLE_PROFILER_SPS=
 }}}
 A vanilla Firefox ESR 24 should do the trick as well, I guess.

 Yes, I am using clang 3.3 and I built the cross-compiler with commit
 9a711e316a9c374f815c3d018dd2614fea2382d5 which is a later one.

 The "arch -i686" and "--target=i686-apple-darwin10" build just "finished"
 and gives me the same error message as mentioned in comment 37 (inclusive
 the reference to i386).

 If you need further information or have ideas on how to debug this, just
 ask/write :)
