I dont think you really have the choice here, as iirc tbb patches the
bundled nspr so you *have* to use the bundled copy, thus reapply needed
patches from the devel/nspr port, unless such patches are merged
upstream in a release and tbb updates its local copy of it.

100% agreed, this is a job for someone caring about having it running on
arm64. any takers ?
