Doesn't --enable-static-nss actually disable the normal NSS mechanism?
This switch is really just a hack to allow you to complete a libc build
before you have dynamic linking operational. I would be reluctant to
turn it on in production.
The static nss libraries are also documented not to work in a number of
cases, if I remember right. The glibc maintainers just really, really
want you to link dynamically.
