Dan -- I thought we were going to not have the git-submodule.sh
script throw away the errors from git, but the version in
master still seems to do that...

Fan: this happens because we tried to run a 'git submodule'
command and it failed. If you edit scripts/git-submodule.sh
to remove the "1>/dev/null 2>&1" part of the 'git submodule
update' command line then rerun make it should print the
error messages from git which will tell you what the
problem is.

(The fact you needed to say 'tsocks git clone...' on your
original command suggests to me that the problem is that
plain 'git submodule update' can't access the git repo.)
