Right, I've seen the nss libraries in the Firefox package.  Packages
for Linux distributions also include the nss.pc file, which isn't
there in the Firefox package.  Interestingly, it's also not in the
separate NSS source, distributions create custom nss.pc to allow other
programs to compile.  Debian also creates custom nss-config.

I see.  I would be curious to see how is the Firefox-bundled NSS
compiled.  I'm banging my head against shlibsign which won't be nice
load shared objects.
