Switch to OS X 10.7 SDK in our Tor Browser Mac builds

Since https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=941296 landed we can't build with the OS X 10.6 SDK anymore we currently use.

We can extract the OSX 10.7 SDK from an XCode 4 DMG, but apple only provides Xcode 5 now. We will have to track down an old XCode 4.5 somehow. Here's the extraction scripts: http://devernay.free.fr/hacks/xcodelegacy/

I found three sources of the 10.7 SDK online: https://github.com/JuliaEichler/Mac_OSX_SDKs/tree/master/MacOSX10.7.sdk and https://github.com/phracker/MacOSX-SDKs and https://github.com/project-bitmark/pfennig/releases/download/v0.9.2.1-pre/MacOSX10.7.sdk.tar.gz

While I like phracker's style (aka "the baddest motherfucker"), the tarball version appears to be the newest version (for OSX 10.7.4 instead of 10.7.2 or earlier), and preserves mac property dotfiles.

Full xcode https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7889299/Xcode_4.5.2_dmg https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/8791601/Xcode_4.6.3.

Both contains 10.7.4 SDK. Same files as https://github.com/project-bitmark/pfennig/releases/download/v0.9.2.1-pre/MacOSX10.7.sdk.tar.gz

It appears that the pfennig mirror is now missing. Luckily I saved a backup copy at https://people.torproject.org/~mikeperry/mirrors/sources/MacOSX10.7.sdk.tar.gz.

That is the 10.7.4 SDK.

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/f4f90287d00a is breaking our build as $(TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX)nm is not pointing to our toolchain.

Maybe too late now, but shouldn't the title of the commit be "Switch to OS X 10.7 SDK for ESR 38" rather than "Switch to ESR38 for OS X" ?

Replying to boklm:

Yes, that would have been better. But in the end it does not matter that much as we want to squash all the changes to Tor Browser's .mozconfig files into one commit which could then have the commit message "Adding Tor Browser's .mozconfig files" or something.
