Well, it's serious problem, many static linked binaries (compiled
before 2.3) get segv. I don't know how to fix.
IMHO, one way to fix it is bumping up glibc nss version, because
breaking ABI back compatibility always change its lib.so
version (Of course, it needs upstream decision). Thus,
libnss_files.so.3 -> libnss_files-2.3.1.so (Don't test unless you
know what is occured).
