I got it working in EasyOS. Here are my notes:
...
# cc -shared -o shim.so shim.c
copied shim.so to /opt/tor-browser
...
OK, will probably create an SFS, later today.

@BarryK Thanks for finding the solution.

What source package should I download to compile and rebuild 'shim.so'

setup-client might be getting confused with the name of the executable. The name TOR.desktop would usually mean the executable is /usr/bin/TOR What is the exact name of the executable in /usr/bin? Is it "TOR"? if so, setup-client will have created a script /usr/bin/TOR and renamed the ori...

You can't have the VM create a save session on your desktop, virtualbox doesn't allow this sort of thing, as well this means your VM is not contained and therefore not virtual. A key point of a VM is that its a machine that can be wiped clean anytime, and only exists with that boundary. As said, cr...

mikeslr Thank You. That's some very useful information you have provided. I am running my build on FossaPup64.9.5 platform itself. With your approach, I will now be able to compare the newly built Pup when it is up & running with the old FossaPup.9.5. To make it clear for others to follow: Inst...

You probably used an incompatible kernel. Use kernel-kit-output-usrmerge-5.15.x-x86_64 , not kernel-kit-output-5.15.x-x86_64 , Quote from https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/wiki/CI-Pipelines#kernel-kit: Some kernel versions have a -usrmerge variant: one where /lib/modules is moved to /us...
