Additional Details :
I'm using a debian Linux, glibc, with kernel 2.1.91.
The compilation aborts because the file
ns/nsprpub/pr/src/misc/prnetdb.c contains a function
declaration that conflicts with one of the predefined
function in the kernel.
It is the function getprotobynumber_r(PRInt32 number)
which already exists and is used for 'reentrant' network
use.

Here is the full error message, if this can help:
gcc -o Linux2.1.91_x86_DBG.OBJ/prnetdb.o -c -g -fPIC -ansi

Additional Details :
You can try one of the two fixes:
1. ns/nsprpub/config/Linux.mk: pretend that you are
   on a 2.0.x system, i.e., add this
        ifeq ($(basename $(OS_RELEASE)),2.0)
        PLATFORM_FLAGS += -DLINUX2_0
        endif

2. ns/nsprpub/pr/src/misc/prnetdb.c: change the 'LINUX2_0'
   macro to 'LINUX'.

I think solution 2 alone should fix this problem.  But
in the meantime, it's probably a good idea to define the
LINUX2_0 macro on 2.1.x systems.

Additional Details :
I checked in solution 2 (checking 'LINUX'
instead of 'LINUX2_0' in prnetdb.c), so
it should work now.

Closed the bug.

By the way, I had a typo in my previous message.
Solution 1 should read:
      ifeq ($(basename $(OS_RELEASE)),2.1)
      PLATFORM_FLAGS += -DLINUX2_0
      endif
NSPR now has its own Bugzilla product.  Moving this bug to the NSPR product.
