You cannot execute host arch binaries during (cross) build. Thus
nsinstall must be built using the build arch compiler. The same applies
to coreconf.

Unfortunately, this is not the only problem with cross building nss.
debian/rules tries to execute the built shlibsign and modutil. These
cannot be executed either in a cross build.

I am attaching a patch that solves all of these problems. Please
consider applying it. If you have any questions regarding the patch,
don't hesitate to ask. It might not be the best solution, but it
actually makes things build.

Also note that the current package was potentially swallowing errors
from shlibsign by chaining them using ";". The patch replaces that with
$(call cmd,...) to make these potential errors visible.

Could you also consider fixing #699217?
