When configuring and building GNU libc using the Mozilla NSS library

Finally, when running the check-local-headers test, ignore the

as otherwise false positives (FAIL) are obtained.


imo, we should switch to pkg-config, and then probe nss via that.
then we don't have to know or care about nspr requirements.


Isn't using pkg-config in a GNU project a bit tricky?

In any case, Mozilla does not publish pkg-config data as far as I cansee, and downstreams probably vary in what they do. For example, Fedoradoes not provide pkg-config data for libfreebl at all. You can linkagainst NSS, but then you also get libdl and libpthread, which we do notwant as dependencies of libgcrypt.
