Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:5 gk]:
 > Yeah, the stable target does seldom work on `master`, we have usually
 the `maint-` branches for that. Doing nightly builds is busted right now
 due to #21748 and PTs aren't working in nightly builds either (#21757).
 Thus, your best bet is probably using `make prep-alpha` and doing an alpha
 build and test that one.

 I see. I may not be able to test this soon, then. I haven't been able to
 build new base VM images on Debian for a while now. I think it is still
 this old issue: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tbb-
 dev/2016-April/000371.html. I will have to apply the workaround of
 building new base VM images on Ubuntu and copying them to Debian, and I
 don't have an Ubuntu set up right now.
