Thank you for your reply.

No, it doesn't (not just in my build but also in the nightly build of
2000-12-21-08 pulled off from ftp.mozilla.org). The document at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/buildnss_31.html
has the following:
PSM Note: You can now build PSM with NSS on Windows and Macintosh:.
You can turn PSM on in Windows NSS builds by setting the BUILD_PSM
environment variable as described in the Windows build instructions below.
You can turn on both PSM and NSS in Macintosh Mozilla builds by adding
the following line to your Mozilla Build Preference file: options psm 1
It will soon be possible to turn on PSM in Unix NSS builds as well.
Is this document outdated or irrelevant to embedded(-in-Mozilla) NSS
build (as opposed to standalone NNS build)? Then, how can I turn on PSM
or how can I install PSM to use with a Linux build?
I'm sorry to bother you (with a possibly well-known problem), but it'd
be nice if you could answer me.
Thank you,
Jungshik
