core-libc "only" implements a resolver framework. Individual
dynamically loaded libs are used to implement eg. DNS lookups, NIS/YP
and other resolver methods. For a typical Linux system, this would be
something like this:

$ ls -l /lib/libnss_*.so /lib/tls/libnss_*.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26332 2005-11-27 13:36 /lib/libnss_compat-2.3.5.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17840 2005-11-27 13:36 /lib/libnss_dns-2.3.5.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38376 2005-11-27 13:36 /lib/libnss_files-2.3.5.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17852 2005-11-27 13:36 /lib/libnss_hesiod-2.3.5.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34328 2005-11-27 13:36 /lib/libnss_nis-2.3.5.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38344 2005-11-27 13:36 /lib/libnss_nisplus-2.3.5.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30428 2005-11-27 13:36 /lib/tls/libnss_compat-2.3.5.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17840 2005-11-27 13:36 /lib/tls/libnss_dns-2.3.5.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42472 2005-11-27 13:36 /lib/tls/libnss_files-2.3.5.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17852 2005-11-27 13:36 /lib/tls/libnss_hesiod-2.3.5.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38424 2005-11-27 13:36 /lib/tls/libnss_nis-2.3.5.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38344 2005-11-27 13:36 /lib/tls/libnss_nisplus-2.3.5.so
