Personally I'm waiting for QA to build things since I want to see if
this does fix nss on the 4 systems it's currently broken on, and so that
there's substitutes available if and when this is merged.

The large number of builds recently on the master branch might delay
this though.

I don't mind, if it doesn't happen on core-updates then that seems like
an OK approach.
