Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1836781

(NSS :: Build, defect)

Description

[tt_1]

Attachment: build.log.gz

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to compile nss-3.90.2 on arm64, using gcc

Actual results:

the build fails to link Hacl_Curve25519_64.o with missing references to faad.

this is an example, the errors are very verbose, please check the full build log:

Expected results:

I expect to get some nice nss binaries and libs

This only affects the nss-3.90.x branch, anything having a higher number (>=3.91) is not affected.

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

This is a dupe of bug 1836781, which was indeed fixed in NSS 3.91. Probably wouldn't be unreasonable to ask for a backport to the 3.90 branch for the next release shipped from there, but you can apply the patch locally in the mean time at least.

where and how can I ask for a backport, please? I'm not very good at this bugzilla magic :)
