Comment:

 I verified it builds on 4 targets. I updated the version to 2.1.11

 https://github.com/sisbell/tor-browser-
 build/commit/da222654e20ad1878f238fde0eb1f9caed905d53

 If we continue with 2.1.8, we get the following error. We can apply a
 patch if we want to support this older version.

 {{{
 ./.libs/libevent_core-2.1.so: error: undefined reference to
 'arc4random_addrandom'
 }}}

 I have the other flags because sample and libevent regress are triggering
 tests which have unsupported classes (older versions of tor-android do the
 same thing)


 {{{
 test/test-dumpevents.c:104: error: undefined reference to 'stdout'
 test/test-dumpevents.c:104: error: undefined reference to 'stderr'
 }}}

 If we need libevent regress, we could patch and remove the tests

 {{{
 AM_CONDITIONAL([BUILD_SAMPLES], [test "$enable_samples" = "yes"])
 AM_CONDITIONAL([BUILD_REGRESS], [test "$enable_libevent_regress" = "yes"])
 }}}
