That page is a Mozilla (Firefox) build page, which is why the compatibility chart on it doesn't mention NSS. NSS doesn't have C++ code, therefore we're much less sensitive to complier versions. Regarding gmake vs. make: what we intend to convey is that you need to use GNU make if the system has both the traditional Unix make and GNU make installed. It is better to make gmake a copy or symbolic link of make, because the NSS test scripts assume that the name of GNU make is "gmake". You'll run into this issue if you run the NSS test suite. If you only need to build NSS, you can use 'make' instead of 'gmake' in the build instructions.
