Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:41 boklm]:
 > Switching to 64bit host for the 32bit builds sounds like a good idea.

 I agree with that and we should probably do that in our alpha cycle for
 Tor Browser 9. However, I fear that's more work involved than we have
 capacity in, say, the next two, three days given all the other stuff on
 our plate.

 It seems I managed to solve the build problems for now with
 `bug_28238_v15` (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-
 build.git/log/?h=bug_28238_v15). Please use that one for review.
