Description

There seems to be a build failure with NSS: https://github.com/mozilla/authenticator-rs/actions/runs/32075176081/job/96703593224

  = note: rust-lld: error: undefined symbol: MLDSA_SignUpdate
          >>> referenced by pkcs11c.c
          >>>               softokn_static.pkcs11c.o:(sftk_MLDSASignUpdate) in archive /home/runner/work/authenticator-rs/authenticator-rs/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug/deps/libnss_rs-99eb759c813ce238.rlib

Looks like this is related to some change to MLDSA, though nothing in authenticator-rs should use that.

Research direction

Begin with the linked GitHub Actions job and its Rust linker output, then trace the NSS/MLDSA dependency involved in pkcs11c.c. Determine why MLDSA_SignUpdate is required even though authenticator-rs does not use MLDSA; done means the affected CI build completes without the undefined-symbol error.
