Hi all, with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441429 this problem became serious. We have two DNS resolver related libraries - libbind from ISC on the one side and on the other side libc + libresolv from GNU libc. Both libraries contains same symbols, does same work but GNU libc implementation hides some symbols whose are sometimes needed and this is reason why people linking against libbind (GNU libc is stripped libbind source). Bug written above is one example that this situation has to be solved. When program is linked against NSS and also against libbind for example (because glibc doesn't provide such interfaces) all gets broken because both libraries have same symbols but uses different structures. Best fix is agreement between ISC and GNU libc upstreams who will use that symbols and who will rename them. I know this is only dream and it will take very long time (I'm sure ISC will never change libbind and change in glibc is also nearly impossible). So there are two ways how solve this problem - make needed symbols from glibc public and don't link anything against libbind or drop resolving support from libc and link all against libbind. I vote for libbind as default resolver library because maintenance cost of unsupported code in glibc downstream is bigger than cost of stripped version of glibc. Any hints and ideas around this problem are welcomed. What's your opinion?
