Looks like pidgin is trying to link to NSS using the -R option.

Created attachment 195282 [details] build.log
OK, found part of the problem: usr/lib/pkgconfig/nss.pc has the -R option, and that's where pidgin gets it from. nspr.pc has this as well. Should that be a separate bug report?
this seems fixed, sorry for neglecting the issue.
