 > > I suppose this is a problem not only with the meek from meek.git, but
 also when using meek_lite with obfs4proxy (#29430)? Or does obfs4proxy
 somehow avoid using the problematic `_unlinkat` symbol? If the latter is
 the case, then #29430 would seem to solve it.

 > I guess we should try to support macOS 10.9.x as long as we can, but it
 may be a losing battle. And even though Mozilla still supports it for
 Firefox, we should not recommend it since 10.9 only rarely receives
 security updates from Apple.

 > Georg, should we close this ticket since this issue seems to be resolved
 with Tor Browser 9.0a6 (after the switch to meek_lite)?

 Yes.
