Description Daniel Jacobowitz 2008-05-16 17:43:38 UTC 
I'll attach a patch that fixes glibc build with --enable-static-nss and makes it
usable by automatically including the necessary libraries in libc.a.  Otherwise
compile flags for every application have to be changed to include -lnss_files
-lnss_dns -lresolv or else there are link errors from any NSS use.

I realize the option is not supported.  Since the fix mostly deletes code I
figured I'd submit it anyway.

I used bugzilla despite the comment in bug 631, since the policy seems to have
changed since 2005; the glibc maintainers tell people to put patches in Bugzilla
now.  If you'd prefer this on libc-alpha just close it and I'll post there.
