Comment:

 `bug_28238_v14` (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-
 build.git/log/?h=bug_28238_v14) has the patches to get this going.
 pospeselr checked that a 64bit build is working, which is nice!

 The patches are on top for those for #28716 to make testing easier. One
 caveat are the 32bit builds wich are currently failing due to memory
 issues when building `gkrust`. I need to find some configure flags that
 help here or we need to bite the bullet of using a 64bit host for 32bit
 builds as well.
