Regarding compilation failure of NSS version 3.53.1

[Rahul S]

Hi All,

I downloaded the NSS 3.53.1 source tarball, unzipped it and was trying
to build on Linux (OEL7) with the following configuration:

OS : OEL7 (7.6)

Platform:x86_64

kernel version: 4.14.35-1902.305.4.el7uek.x86_64

gcc version: gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39.0.5)


Ran gmake nss_build_all and the build failed with the following error:


gcc -o Linux4.14_x86_64_gcc_glibc_64_DBG.OBJ/secport.o -c -std=c99 -g

     ^

Please do advise on how to resolve this issue.
