NSS
x86_64
On x86_64 the build will default to 32-bit. In multilib, this may be exactly what you want. In pure64, it will fail to build. You can get around this with
make USE_64=1 nss_build_all
ppc64
On ppc64, building 32-bit barfs on -z defs when CC is overridden to "gcc -m32". Use the patch at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/nss/nss-3.11-zdefs-1.patch and read the instructions in it.
Test Suite: CRL tests
cert.sh uses the local time when creating revocation lists. This can cause a number of tests (130 out of 800) to fail.
Fix:
cd mozilla/security/nss/tests/cert/ &&
sed 's/date "*+%Y%m%d%H%M%SZ"*/date -u "+%Y%m%d%H%M%SZ"/g' < cert.sh \
> cert.sh.tmp && mv cert.sh.tmp cert.sh
