 Good point; will fix that.

 AFAIK it's common practice (though not universal) in English to form
 plurals of initialisms, letters, and numbers by appending an apostrophe
 followed by an "s".  DuckDuckGoing for `initialisms plural apostrophe`
 seems to indicate that this choice varies by writer, and is neither
 required nor erroneous.  If you really want the apostrophe to be removed,
 let me know and I'll do it, but it wasn't unintentionally included.

 > Some trailing whitespace to remove on

 Good catch, I'll fix that.

 > Please remove all the non-Linux parts and the conditional Linux
 includes.

 Okay.

 > (For the macOS parts it's worth to keep in mind that we have
 macosx_deployment_target: '10.9' and not 10.7 anymore. We only support
 macOS 10.9 and onward.)

 Ah, somehow I missed that.  I'll fix that in Namecoin's version of the rbm
 scripts (even though it's not relevant for this patchset since this
 patchset is Linux-only), since we do build for macOS for our binaries, and
 we try to follow Tor's conventions on this stuff.

 I'll post an updated branch shortly.
