tor fails to run the testsuite on hppa architecture, as can be seen here:
util/socket_ipv4: [forking]
  FAIL ../src/test/test_util.c:5989: assert(fd_is_nonblocking(fd2) OP_EQ 1): 0 vs 1
  [socket_ipv4 FAILED]
util/socket_ipv6: [forking]
  FAIL ../src/test/test_util.c:5989: assert(fd_is_nonblocking(fd2) OP_EQ 1): 0 vs 1
  [socket_ipv6 FAILED]

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=tor&arch=hppa&ver=0.4.5.5-rc-1&stamp=1612278093&raw=0

Reason for this is, that on hppa the value of O_NONBLOCK
has been changed upstream Linux kernel.

I've sent a patch/pull-request to upstream tor development:
https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/2128

Maybe this patch can be applied in debian before upstream picks it up?

Thanks for the patch.  We expect 0.4.5.5-rc to be the last RC of the
series, and a 0.4.5.6 (final) to show soon, certainly within February.

As such, I'm tempted to wait for 0.4.5.6 which should almost certainly
include your change.  Would that be ok?

Cheers,
