Comment:

 Okay, this took me way longer than expected. `bug_31584_v4`
 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_31584_v4&id=67a38dec8014e4ba33dc062527e74df2aca1f3db)
 is the resulting patch (which is on top of the patches for #31538). For
 posterity, the mentioned GCC crash when compiling 64-bit Rust is:

 The pthread situation is a bit unfortunate. However, I think we can fix
 that by moving the `tor` compilation (and it's dependencies) to
 mingw-w64-clang. If we don't find a better solution than I have in my
 patch then I'll file a ticket about that so we don't forget and make the
 mingw-w64-clang transition blocking it.
