Comment (by gk):

 To get things started and SoftBound CETS compiled following
 https://github.com/santoshn/softboundcets-34/ worked with one caveat: I
 needed to add
 {{{
 -lrt
 }}}
 to get the test program compiled.

 Then in order to compile Tor Browser I added some .mozconfig lines:
 {{{
 export CC="clang -fsoftboundcets"
 export CXX="clang -fsoftboundcets"
 export LDFLAGS="-L/home/gk/softbound/softboundcets-34/softboundcets-lib
 -lm -lrt"
 }}}
 Building Tor Browser gives now quite early a bunch of "This case not
 handled, requesting memory from system Softboundcets: Memory safety
 violation detected" errors. (See attachment 1).
