Hydra has tried to build nss-3.29.3 on x86_64 twice, and the test suite
failed both times.

  https://hydra.gnu.org/build/1905330

The first time, we got this:

[  FAILED  ] 1 test, listed below:
[  FAILED  ] DamageYDatagram/TlsDamageDHYTest.DamageClientY/8, where GetParam() 
= ("DTLS", 770, 4, true)

and the second time, this:

[  FAILED  ] 1 test, listed below:
[  FAILED  ] 
ExtensionPre13Datagram/TlsExtensionTestPre13.AlpnReturnedBadNameLength/0, where 
GetParam() = ("TLS", 770)

This is the first time I've ever seen NSS fail to build on x86_64.  It's
quite serious since it means around 230 dependency failures, including
IceCat, GNOME and Qt/KDE.

  https://hydra.gnu.org/eval/109538#tabs-now-fail

If this problem cannot be fixed very soon, we'll need to revert this
update.  Did it build successfully on your machine?  If so, which
architecture did you test it on?
