One possible way around this is to add an external resolver (like
Solaris's `nscd'); the static library can use a stub routine to call
the resolver if possible (i.e., the machine is running multiuser), and
then fall back to the built-in databases if this fails.  This way,
only the users who needed loadable NSS modules would pay the cost.
