Comment:

 Actually, we are good. The reason for this problem is that we are setting
 MACOSX__DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6 which fits to the current toolchain we use.
 `thread_local` is not supported for 10.6 but it is for 10.7 onward. Thus,
 we are good for now and will be later on when switching to our new
 toolchain. I just tested that and could successfully build esr60.

 I've rebased my patch on `master` and pushed an update to bug_25975_v2
 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_25975_v2&id=040cc0560eb21cf09dbdbbd33d501b805a28d6bd).

 boklm could you review that one?
