Comment:

 `bug_20683_v4` (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/commit/?h=bug_20683_v4&id=74bc959b60d4ebb04179a87a113fbb5254d9d3fa)
 in my public repo has a patch for review. It uses TrapLinker now under the
 hood which fixes the NSS AES incompatibility as well and improves
 stability in general. The relevant selfrando and elfutils commits/tags are
 in the nightly versions file. I'll update the alpha one with proper tags
 once we had the code baking in our nightlies for a while and nothing
 exploded.

 Note: This patch makes use of our own gcc/binutils for the remaining
 components in the gitian-utils descriptor (a thing I wanted to have for
 quite a while now).
