Specifically, the ‘ld’ wrapper (in gnu/packages/ld-wrapper.in) arranges
to add a -Wl,-rpath flag for each -l flag that it sees.
However, the ‘ld’ wrapper does not add such a flag if there’s no
corresponding -l flag, or if Thunderbird somehow managed to bypass the
wrapper altogether.
I’d suggest checking the link command line for the offending .so in
Thunderbird to see exactly what’s going on. It might just be that it
misses -lnspr4 or something like that.
HTH,
Ludo’.
