When building dev-libs/nss in a crossdev environment, emerge fails with the error shlibsign: command not found, after dev-libs/nss is build on the crossdev host and subsequently dev-libs/nss is built in the crossdev environment, the build is successful, I assume adding dev-libs/nss to the IDEPEND of itself for crossdev would solve the issue. This error occurs on all the versions in the current gentoo repo 3.111 3.110 3.101.3 and 3.101.2 Reproducible: Always

IDEPEND is inappropriate. That is for programs called in pkg_preinst/pkg_postinst. This failure is occurring during the compile phase, so BDEPEND would be the appropriate variable. However, adding dev-libs/nss to BDEPEND will cause a circular dependency error when not cross-compiling. I don't think we have a good way to solve this; it would require a special USE flag to be set when cross-compiling or a change to PMS.
Sometimes it's feasible to just build the bit you need with the CBUILD toolchain. I haven't looked yet, but that's probably not straightforward enough in this case. I have had a PMS change planned, but I haven't filled a bug for it yet. Thanks for the nudge.
