 armv7 apk on Android Q. Tor starts and I'm able to access an external
 site.

 Compilation does not work for me if I build the x86 target at least. My
 `tor-browser-build` repo is at 571d14f36daa6dd1162803882475eae6ff20d3df.
 And I've pointed my `firefox` config to `2dbb7aefea` for the nightly
 target and started the build with `make nightly-android-x86`. What I get
 is an error early in the browser step:
