Comment (by ahf):

 I have managed to build this branch now on two different machines.

 The only changes I have had to make so far are:

 Where the last part was from boklm and GeKo on IRC.

 From what I can tell with the code is that it seems reasonable. I am not
 sure what the common strategy is for when you review build-system
 components in the browser. In Tor we have all kinds of sanitizers from
 shellcheck that we run on shell-like scripts. The code looks fine to me,
 is easy to understand once the gist of rbm kicks in.
