"should not be used" probably isn't the right wording, especially if the
loading issue is resolved with Jakub's patch or something similar.  It
might be fine, given the situation.  The actual problem should be
described.  I probably settle for

using 'foo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the
NSS modules from the glibc version used for linking

How about:


"Using 'foo' in a statically linked binary requires the NSS modules from the same glibc version it was built against be present for proper runtime execution."

Cheers,
Nicholas
