Perhaps an upstream bug? I can open an issue with them.

Looks like it, though I see I updated port:nspr just after port:nss and since no ABI was broken I didn't try to build nss anew.

You could try the current version of port:nss, or merge the current one from MacPorts to see if that solves anything.

FWIW, it seems that the specificity of these two ports in LinuxPorts is that nspr is installed to $prefix/lib and not in a subdir. I can't remember what reason I had to do that, possibly just to avoid having to add another rpath component to all dependents.

@RJVB There are two similar reported cases: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483135 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747371

From that it seems something might have built for 32-bit, god knows why. I can check that tomorrow.

This in fact looks like a requirement that the size_t type be no more than 4 bytes long. Which is probably not appropriate for an OS called pine64 running on a riscv64 platform.
