Thanks for the explanation, guys.

There's discussion about nss-related linking failures in other ports:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228540
and the common denominator in there cases is synth (there are no problems
in poudriere). Over there, Trond had the idea that this might be related
to https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228046 (commit
ports r469956) - has synth some special "optimization" for handling
ldconfig? (I'm not a synth user myself...)

Christoph
