Is this because your new glibc doesn't have the compat module?

Do you mean libnss_compat? There's no this library in Linaro toolchain.
AFAIR, it was deprecated and there were already issues with it.

I believe that it might still be possible that compat without NIS is useful, and that people use it.

Thanks,
