I'm not sure but it seems to me that the question is more about
-current that -ports.

While updating devel/nspr I get this:

...

/usr/bin/strip: /usr/local/lib/libnspr4.so.1: File format not recognized

It builds and installs fine here, both on i386 and amd64, using both gcc
and clang.

What is the output of: "file /usr/local/lib/libnspr4.so.1" on your
system?

I've done some steps to diagnose the case. Seems that /usr/bin/tar
does not create correct library:
-----

/usr/ports/devel/nspr/work/nspr-4.9/mozilla/nsprpub/build/dist/lib/../../pr/src/./libnspr4.so.1

linked, not stripped

% tar --version
bsdtar 3.0.3 - libarchive 3.0.3

The library (/usr/local/lib/libnspr4.so.1) is created by the command:
-----
/usr/bin/tar -C 
/usr/ports/devel/nspr/work/nspr-4.9/mozilla/nsprpub/build/dist/lib 
--dereference -cf - . |  /usr/bin/tar -C /usr/local/lib -xof -

Can you send me the output of:

tar -cvf /tmp/test.tar 
/usr/ports/devel/nspr/work/nspr-4.9/mozilla/nsprpub/build/dist/lib/../../pr/src/./libnspr4.so.1

(A tar archive containing only that one source file.)

This looks similar to a bug that we found in libarchive recently
I didn't think that bug impacted FreeBSD, but I may have been
wrong….  if it did, it will be obvious from the structure of the
created archive.

The following file is extracted after tarring:
-----
% hd libnspr4.so.1

The tar file itself attached (3KB in length).
