Problem with nsswitch and new libc



Recently, I upgraded my system (running woody) to the newest libc.  This caused static
compilation of AbiWord (of which I am a developer) to break.  I don't ever compile
things statically otherwise, so this is the only thing broken.  However, since the errors, 
which look like so:

/usr/lib/libc.a(nsswitch.o)(.data+0xd4): undefined reference to `_nss_files_sethostent'

do not mention any AbiWord files, and they appeared immediately after the upgrade, I 
suspect this is a libc issue.

Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there a fix I should know about?  I was unable to 
find anything in the archives.
