 Replying to [comment:16 boklm]:
 > There is a patch for review in branch `bug_12968`, adding the `-Wl
 ,--high-entropy-va` flag in the Windows x86_64 build:
 > https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_12968&id=e61271539c985974e95e486b8736dd3a7049516c

 I cherry-picked that one to have it in the upcoming alpha (8.0a10) while
 we still try to solve the remaining issue with our proposed fix. (commit
 f7247cca852ce5f9cce092ca82cb92efbbba611d on `master` has boklm's patch)
