libfreebl_pure32_3.so works on all versions of the SPARC
processors.  libfreebl_hybrid_3.so only works on UltraSPARC
processors.  NSS uses libfreebl_hybrid_3.so when possible
and falls back on libfreebl_pure32_3.so when it's running
on SPARC V8 or older.

NSS now uses its own implementation of all the crypto
algorithms, including RSA.  The option to use the RSA
BSAFE Crypto-C library has not been tested since NSS 3.2
and most likely doesn't work any more.
