I see.  It's just that I had NSS in /usr from Debian but built
and installed nss_compat_ossl in a home directory.  When I
pointed --with-nss_compat_ossl=DIR to that directory, the
configure script did not use pkg-config nss but rather assumed
NSS is where Fedora puts it.  Because Debian uses different
directories, the preprocessor then didn't find nss.h, and the
build failed.

If I want to use nss_compat_ossl, I can point CFLAGS and LDFLAGS
to it before I run configure --with-nss_compat_ossl, so the
behaviour of the option is not a real problem, but anyway it was
surprising.

The GNU Coding Standards actually say:

Of course, ELinks not being a GNU program, it is not bound by
those standards.
