I think people confuse things here. Ralf was atalking about
statically linked binaries using NSS. Here of course two libcs are
involved (think about it). With dynamically linked binaries, again,
of course only one libcs is involved.

Now the question: how does Sun solve this? Answer: they are not able
to have statically linked programs use NSS. So what do you prefer?
