Comment:

 I attached 2 patches to this ticket:
 - `tor-browser-0001-Bug-20439-make-the-build-PIE-on-OSX.patch` is a patch
 for `tor-browser.git` adding `-Wl,-pie` to `LDFLAGS`.
 - ` tor-browser-bundle-0001-Bug-20439-make-the-build-PIE-on-OSX.patch` is
 a patch for `builders/tor-browser-bundle.git` creating wrappers on `clang`
 and `clang++` to add the `-fPIE` flag.
