[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

You are running a make target that builds NSS and NSPR.
You evidently didn't download the NSPR sources.
Either install the NSPR sources or build a different target.

Comment 2

[Pierre]

NSPR is already installed on my system, but there doesn't seem to be a target for building _only_ NSS ...

Comment 3

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

In general, you can use the NSS and NSPR that are installed on your Linux
system (the so-called "System NSS" and "System NSPR"), or you can use NSS 
and NSPR that your build yourself.  Trying to mix the two is not advised.

However, if you want to tempt the fates, you can try some of these makes:
  make -k nss_build_all
or
  make build_coreconf build_dbm all
