While updating my system, the building of gnome-control-center fails because: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lnssutil3 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -auD world 2.

I suggest running revdep-rebuild. Do you have firefox, xulrunner, seamonkey ? if yes which versions ?
I realise this may be caused by ff3rc1, and i suddenly recalled that i read somewhere that there was no support for manually unmasked packages. Leaving this for you to close, in case you do want to help me first. (revdep-rebuild failed on yelp [configure: error: This program needs a gtk 2 gecko build], which i remember depended on ff 2.0.0.14)
I think in-tree yelp doesn't have firefox3 (xulrunner-1.9) support yet, we have some patches to apply for that still, unless they are already in. Therefore the best course of action for a Firefox3 user is to use xulrunner for everything possible as that can be slotted. Firefox can use it too, to share with everything else that uses xulrunner-1.9 (with the big major gecko version) and be itself just a couple minutes of merge time (with the most of time going to xulrunner). This way you can have yelp use the xulrunner 1.8 SLOT version, and firefox the 1.9 SLOT version (though it's not important to have USE=xulrunner for Fx3 case, but it's neat). I'm not sure if the specific failure in a completely different package (control-center) relates to this though.
Well, it's somehow working again, so resolving fixed
