 Let's see if the builders like it.  Let's close this ticket if it solves
 everybody's problems, and not otherwise.
 This solved the errors that i reproduced and is a lot cleaner than the
 patch i submitted. Thanks for that.

 After looking into the Tor related commits made at Buildroot, i noticed
 they have now disabled unit tests (see
 [https://git.busybox.net/buildroot/commit/?id=41a14f3e394f46bd098daf4a76283315e3ae452a])
 to (probably?) work around the issues in this ticket. For this reason, i
 am in favor of backporting the change to 0.2.7 so Buildroot can revert
 their change and run the unit tests again.

 It would also help to get some feedback from wbx.
