 this problem, there must besome difference in how `tor.real` is built for
 your test builds.

 changes I am doing. For `tor.real` in particular I set `export
 MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.7`. _That_ alone should not cause this issue.
 A couple of possible options come to mind here: 1) We might need to set it
 earlier, that is before the configure step. 2) It's somehow caused by us
 setting the SDK option to 10.11 now.

 Tor's workaround for Apple's header declaration bug happens in the
 configure step, so you'll need to `export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.7`
 before tor's configure runs,
