Hello,

I am building the Tor browser using the provided instructions at  
[tor-browser-build](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build) repo.

I get the following error:

```console
Error running go_vendor
Opening debug shell
Warning: build files will be removed when you exit this shell.
Container directory: /home/myuser/buildingTor/Try1/tor-browser-build/tmp/rbm-os_HaB/rbm-containers/d89adc377976e3978cfee1f08212745bfce9a1a721062c8c880fd2d3987f1bd9
/bin/sh: 0: can't access tty; job control turned off

```

a more comprehensive look:

```auto
$ make torbrowser-release-windows-x86_64
git submodule update --init
./rbm/rbm build release --target release --target browser-windows-x86_64 --target torbrowser

```

The last log file (`lyrebird-linux-x86_64.log`) seems completed successfully yet it contains:

```auto

```

I have no idea what go-vendor and tty are and what should I do with this `debug-lyrebird$` command prompt.

If anyone has any information please share it with me.

Thank you very much.
