However, you had better have : /usr on your root (/) file system or you wont be able to boot. Linux's : solution is to put the ld.so and libc.so onto the / partition in /lib. I've built a full world NOSHARED=NO and it works great on single partition systems. I strongly suspect that a dynamic nsswitch would work in that case too.
