Unless I'm mistaken, upstream nss and nspr do not ship pkgconfig files, 
they're distro additions and thus depending on them could be fragile.  (I 
wonder if distro packagers haven't bothered to submit the *.pc they add 
upstream or if upstream has rejected them.)

These on the other hand sound like something that should be fixed (and I see 
you already sent a patch).
