I started a new thread inquiring about the challenges involved...
which received no responses.  I assume that not much has changed
since the mid- to late-90s list archives I found via Google...

What specific aspects of rtld are required to support NSS in
static binaries?  dlopen(), fixups, and dlsym()?
