 4458b4e8a09aaa759f1735b36aec860aa61f3ba7 applied? (i.e. after the `tor-
 browser` patch for #31621 landed) I ask, because that's exactly the error
 you would get if the nodejs problem was not solved.

 This was indeed the issue.

 In branch `bug_31448_v5` I made a patch disabling debug symbols and
 switching back to `ld.gold`:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_31448_v5&id=8cc9eaf22abf0c9d98b88bb60aaa1476e4a6555c

 I did builds on two machines with this patch to see that is is also fixing
 #31618.

 However I did not find why it is failing with debug symbols.
