 ii  torsocks       2.3.0-2      amd64        use SOCKS-friendly
 applications with Tor
 using Debian 10.1.0 live

   When I try to shield the necessary downloads of my coreboot firmware
 source compilation I get the following three types of errors:
 1574449473 WARNING torsocks[13517]: [syscall] Unsupported syscall number
 332. Denying the call (in tsocks_syscall() at syscall.c:605)
 1574449473 WARNING torsocks[13517]: [syscall] Unsupported syscall number
 293. Denying the call (in tsocks_syscall() at syscall.c:605)
 1574449410 WARNING torsocks[13244]: [syscall] Unsupported syscall number
 326. Denying the call (in tsocks_syscall() at syscall.c:605)

   The download always hangs in some other position and I have given up to
 do a secure download for the darp5 firmware. This means that I will have
 no coreboot firmware since the main installation on my darp5 (downloads
 and compilation work well there) is bugged with a rootkit as detectable by
 https://www.elstel.org/debcheckroot/. I can not use the compilation
 results of a bugged machine.

 model: System76 Darter Pro 5
 git repository: https://github.com/system76/firmware-open

 commands to execute:

 torsocks git clone https://github.com/system76/firmware-open
 cd firmware-open
 git checkout whl-u
 torsocks git submodule update --init --recursive --checkout
 vim scripts/build.sh  # remove +nightly from installer
 torsocks scripts/deps.sh
 source ?.rustup/env? - look for this command in build.sh
