Details

At least this applies to building on Linux, and to building on Win32 using the GNU make build system. Actual behaviour: object files are created below OBJDIR/nss Expected behaviour: object files should be created below OBJDIR/security/nss, in order to match the source file location.
Target Future.
Target Milestone: --- → Future
Actually, the problem is a bit worse than that. Rather than following the NSS directory heirarchy, the genereated files are placed in: BUILD_TREE/nss/LIBRARY_NAME/ if building a library and BUILD_TREE/nss/ for everything else including the cmd line tools. and since LIBRARY_NAME doesn't always directly map to the directories under mozilla/security/nss/lib/ , you'll still have a directory mismatch.
"Future" target implies P4.
