Comment:

 Okay, to get this going here some steps to keep in mind for the review
 process:

 1) I suggest using Ray's cross-compiler he uploaded to Dropbox (see
 comment 72). I built my test bundle with it.
 2) The descriptor patch (0002-*) assumes that the compiler archive is
 renamed to "x86_64-apple-darwin10.tar.xz".
 3) Patch 0001-new* - 0006-* (0002-* excluded) needs to get merged into
 tor-browser.
 4) It is not tested whether the compiler works with ESR 17 as-is.
 5) In order to get the browser compiled, the patch in #10139 is needed as
 well.
 6) If the second step of the Gitian build process is not failing with the
 new compiler then the work in this bug is done IMO. For the packaging step
 (which still contains some things to fix) we have #9858.
