Comment (by Zakhar):

 Replying to [comment:1 nickm]:
 > Are you sure that the "freshly compiled Tor" is actually looking for its
 configuration file in /etc/tor/torrc?  (It should say in its logs where
 it's getting its configuration from.)

 That was a possibility (unfortunately... see above).

 Indeed looking at the strings in the binary (1st one is the Ubuntu repo
 binary, second the one I compiled):

 {{{
 $ strings -d tor | grep -e '/.*torrc'
 /etc/tor/torrc-defaults
 /etc/tor/torrc
 ~/.torrc
 $ strings -d tor_0.3.1.8 | grep -e '/.*torrc'
 /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc
 ~/.torrc
 /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc-defaults
 }}}

 It looks like the Ubuntu build removes /usr/local from them.

 By the way... I failed to find "compile options" for tor.

 Would you have a pointer on the documentation that lists them and how to
 implement them before compiling?
