Comment (by boklm):

 This fixup patch is adding your binutils patch to the build:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_20636_v6&id=8eba1f29a8cd4f48278b1ad84052a5da4a9225f7

 I did a build of tor expert-bundle with and without this patch.

 Without the patch:
 https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/tmp/bug_23228/no-patch/tor-0.3.1.5
 -alpha-windows-x86_64-b5dec4/tor-win32-0.3.1.5-alpha.zip.asc
 https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/tmp/bug_23228/no-patch/tor-0.3.1.5
 -alpha-windows-x86_64-b5dec4/tor-win32-0.3.1.5-alpha.zip

 With the patch:
 https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/tmp/bug_23228/with-patch/tor-0.3.1.5
 -alpha-windows-x86_64-4974f5/tor-win32-0.3.1.5-alpha.zip.asc
 https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/tmp/bug_23228/with-patch/tor-0.3.1.5
 -alpha-windows-x86_64-4974f5/tor-win32-0.3.1.5-alpha.zip

 I will do the same with a firefox build.
