Does not seems too hard. I will have a look to see if I can fix that cleanly this week-end and forward a patch. One caution is that I don't think there's a bootstrap or autogen shell script to run to regenerate things if you change configure.ac or the Makefiles. If you need examples of that,

My question is : How do I submit the patch? Can I make tar.z file and post in this mailing list? No, you'd file a bug in bugzilla. But patching code generally requires an Apache contributor agreement be on file. -- Scott

Thanks for this quick (and very clear) answer. Sure. I wish the answer didn't suck, but that's as it may be. Well NSS is used at least by RedHat and Suse and is recommended by latest LSB to standardize on as Linux reference crypto library. I was aware of the former, though not the latter.
