 Patches here:
 https://peertech.org/dist/tor-0.2.4.19-rdrand-disable.patch
 https://peertech.org/dist/tor-0.2.5.1-rdrand-disable.patch
 https://peertech.org/dist/tor-latest-rdrand-disable.patch

 If you have a Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, or other recent Intel CPU with
 RDRAND, can you try building Tor against openssl-1.0.1e and HardwareAccel
 1 set in config?

 If you see a log message:
 {{{
  ... "OpenSSL is using RDRAND by default. Attempting to force disable."
 }}}

 please post the results of the following "Using OpenSSL engine ... for
 RAND" statement to confirm.
