Initial Package Version: 3.11
Upstream Status: unknown
Origin: found in fedora, originator uncertain.
Description: Allows nss to build on ppc64 (possibly also on some other
multilibs) when CC and CXX are overridden, e.g. to "gcc -m32".  Without
this, ld barfs on -z defs.  Rediffed to apply with -p1.

 I also had to pass a value for LDEMULATION to prevent the use of 64-bit
system libs, so the full command was

 make CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}" \
          LDEMULATION='elf32ppc' nss_build_all 

 This builds, as does firefox, but I don't yet have firefox _working_.
