Why are you building mozilla?
Since your patch is to NSS (specifically signtoon), you dont need to
build mozilla.  It's a LOT easier to build NSS than mozilla.

NSS builds with gcc and with MSVC 6.  There is a bug filed about an issue
with MSVC .NET, which is probaby the same issue with other newer MSVC
versions.  See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=232600

I gather you mean this article:

I think the answer might be: a big Netscape layoff.  I'll ask him :-)
