It just occurred to me.  You're probably building NSS, NOT by using NSS's
own mail files directly, but by building it as part of the browser.
(You may have even said so at some point.)

The browser has its own makefiles that "wrap" NSS's makefiles.  Over the
years, there have been LOTS of problems with Mozilla's browser makefiles
not properly setting things up for NSS's makefiles.  I suspect this is
another case of that.

The NSS team supports NSS's own makefiles, but does NOT support the Mozilla
browser makefiles that Mozilla uses to wrap NSS's makefiles.  Our position
is that if NSS builds and runs correctly with our Makefiles, but not with
someone else's Makefiles, then the problem is with those other non-NSS
makefiles.

So, if you're having a problem with those Mozilla wrapper makefiles (which
it appears that you are), that's not an NSS bug, it's a mozilla build bug.
I think Benjamin Smedberg is the person who is most likely to be able to
help you.
