Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:59 boklm]:
 > We reverted this patch in tbb-8.0a5-build2, as it might be the cause for
 non-reproducible Windows build.
 Details?
 > I was previously able to reproduce a Windows build using binutils 2.30.
 I will check if I can reproduce the build with 2.29.1 on my machine, and
 if not we can look at switching to binutils 2.30 with a patch to fix the
 crash.
 They can do 2.30.1 if you ask.

 BTW, it's now possible to download `xz` instead of `bz2`.
 Also
