Comment:

 There are two patches for review in branch `bug_29981_v5`:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_29981_v5&id=069c880961e93fe2f5052ae6d428b2f9efdd1d4e

 I have been able to get matching builds from this branch for the
 android-x86 and android-armv7 builds.

 The packages that I installed on a stretch machine to be able to do the
 build are:
 {{{
 build-essential python bison automake libtool zip unzip autoconf2.13 yasm
 openjdk-8-jdk gettext-base autotools-dev automake autoconf libtool
 autopoint libssl-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev libparallel-forkmanager-perl
 libfile-slurp-perl bzip2 xz-utils apksigner
 }}}
