[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

Yes, Glen, that's right.  What causes that?

sorry I was playing with ubuntu 32 bit version. I built fine for 32 bit then set USE_64 and tried to build. The build error was at drbg.c:507 but I see from the built nspr and libssutil3.so that the build was not building 64 bit instead built
libnssutil3.so: ELF 32-bit..

I have installed the 32 bit ubuntu. I see there is a 64 bit ubuntu. I will 
see about giving that a try. But this bug is invalid...
