I hope we can at least be smarter around the vendoring here. I am not overly thrilled to add all the Windows related .a files given that we likely to need this as a host-only tool anyway (at least that's my hope).

As vendor.tar.gz is pretty big, I think we should move it outside the git repository, with something like this: https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-build.git/commit/?h=linux_esr68_v5&id=7fdae3db547bc44f3b157d0f23f613f65a9cd0bf

I think we should also add some comment explaining how this file was created.

Looks good. I cherry-picked that one and squashed the result onto master (commit a61d68dc37a39d0aca74b273ca2b444fe33a07dc)

I agree. I am leaving this ticket open for that comment and I still like to get the vendoring result smaller if possible...

As vendor.tar.gz is pretty big, I think we should move it outside the git repository Why? It looks like something similar to ICU BLOB.

Move my tickets.

Commit 84d95d6d2a51d93f62e9927cfa2e63e674066c7d adapted the build script for 32bit Windows. We are done here. I opened #31588 (moved) about us hopefully being smarter about the vendoring in the future..

The latter did not happen yet (it could be part of #31588 (moved)) and the former is #32509 (moved).
