 Yes, I was right. `bug_25832` (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-
 browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_25832&id=9ed4019319aec225d8b2bd163d0be5adea5d4573)
 has a potential fix that allows me to basically compile everything. (The
 Firefox is still not running for different reasons on Windows 7 and 8,
 which is interesting but different tickets).

 This should be reviewed once we switched to an ESR60-based tor-browser
 branch.
