Those two patches might fix the issue only if the user does not explicitly pass
CPPFLAGS containing the string "-I/usr/include/nss3".

My opinion is that GNU libc should be robust even to "alternative"
configurations such as the one presented above. So that is why, I believe all
patches should be applied:

[1] https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=9302 (fixes possible
conflicts between Mozilla NSS nss.h header file and GNU libc nss.h header file)

[2] https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-05/msg00738.html (fixes the GNU
libc build system to correctly detect and use Mozilla NSPR)

[3] https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-05/msg00729.html (fixes the GNU
libc test system to prevent false positives related to the use of the Mozilla
NSPR header files)

The three patches have already been posted to the libc-alpha mailing list. They
have been tested with GNU libc version 2.22, 2.23 and latest git.

Otherwise, do you know other better ways of tackling ALL problems ?
