 NSS stands for [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ Network Security Services]. NSS is required to use SSL in Pidgin. NSS depends on NSPR and a [https://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS_Shared_DB shared database] (SQLite since [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/nss-3.12/nss-3.12-release-notes.html NSS 3.12]), but you don't have to worry about these, there's and NSS with NSPR package which is compact thus it contains all sources required to build NSS.
 
-'''Note''': at the moment you can't build NSS completely using GCC. It fails at the final stage when linking additional tools. However, you can build all the important libraries successfully. It will hopefully be improved in the future. You can, however, build NSS completely with the Windows Driver Kit, but you'll need the [http://code.google.com/p/xchat-wdk/source/browse/#hg/ext/nss-wdk NSS-WDK patch].

 The build will likely not complete successfully due to hardcoded library paths and other problems in the build system (it will bail out building `.../cmd/bltest`).  If it gets that far, it has already built the various libraries successfully.
