I haven't tried the autoconf'd nspr build since it became the default
and probably won't before 8.1 or 9.0, depending on my time. The missing
-Zomf likely belongs in nsprpub's configure.in, but if you've got the
makefiles, adding DLLFLAGS [now DSO_LDOPTS?] += -Zomf to pr/src/Makefile
and those in lib/libc/src and lib/ds should solve your immediate
problem. If you plan to reconfigure, add it to the Makefile.in's.
There should be no need to update the instructions, other than perhaps
mention that nsprpub now uses autoconf, as this is a temporary glitch
which you could report as a bug.
