At least from what I can see on the issues, the problem was
introduced
with the update to 3.98.0 [3] and then continued with the
update to 3.99
[4]. Given the changes in 70662 were sent to guix-patches and
then
merged less than 24 hours later, I'd imagine that wasn't
sufficient time
for data.qa.guix.gnu.org to fail attempting to build nss.
I think in [3] you meant https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70569,
not #70662.
Since this was security sensitive, I built it on x86_64,
tested it there
to ensure that IceCat worked as expected, had others confirmed
it worked
for them on #guix then pushed.

3: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70662
4: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70618
Note that the IceCat package in Guix currently uses the copy of
NSS that
comes bundled with the IceCat source code, so testing IceCat
probably
won't tell you much about whether the standalone NSS package in
Guix
works properly.
Thanks for the heads-up. It looks like there are now some low
hanging
fruits in terms of unbundling opportunities for icecat/Icedove!
Definitely. The LibreWolf package is probably a good reference,
as I was able to unbundle all its library dependencies and use the
Guix-packaged versions instead.
