It turns out that all specific architectures checked in 
coreconf/Linux.mk are already correct(after changing powerpc* to ppc*). 
All the others are directly copied from OS_TEST to OS_ARCH in 
coreconf/Linux.mk:
https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss/file/tip/coreconf/Linux.mk#l93
and OS_ARCH is the variable NSS uses internally.

So it seems that at the moment there is nothing more to do about this.
