now nss-3.9.2-r2 is marked as stable on ppc64, but it even doesn't compile on my ppc64. I got the following errors when compiled it: make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/nss-3.9.2-r2/work/nss-3.9.2/mozilla/security/nss/cmd/shlibsign/mangle' Linux2.6_ppc64_glibc_PTH_OPT.OBJ/shlibsign -v -i ../../../dist/Linux2.6_ppc64_glibc_PTH_OPT.OBJ/lib/libsoftokn3.so ./sign.sh: line 51: 14621 Segmentation fault ${2}/shlibsign -v -i ${4} make[2]: *** [../../../dist/Linux2.6_ppc64_glibc_PTH_OPT.OBJ/lib/libsoftokn3.chk] Error 139 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/nss-3.9.2-r2/work/nss-3.9.2/mozilla/security/nss/cmd/shlibsign' make[1]: *** [libs] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/nss-3.9.2-r2/work/nss-3.9.2/mozilla/security/nss/cmd' make: *** [libs] Error 2 !!!

Well, I compiled both nspr and nss with gcc-3.4.3-r1, and that did the trick! Now this could be closed.
this bug is a dublicate, but it is good to know, that gcc-3.4.3-r1 fixed it for you. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 67988 ***
