I just uploaded NSPR and NSS, source in the Mercurial repository, binaries for Rawhide in the temporary yum repository: http://homes.merjis.com/~rich/mingw/ These are major libraries, used directly or indirectly by a lot of software, so any testing / bug reports gratefully received.

I've actually been tipped off[0] that these NSPR/NSS packages probably won't work because gcc ignores the __declspec(thread) annotations (Thread Local Storage under Windows, q.v.[1]). I'm going to look at a fix for this shortly. Rich. [0] Novell's packages: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/fstrba:/CrossMingw:/test/...
