I've already described this multiple times trying to use different
descriptions/analogies about well known *glibc NSS ABI issue*.
You cannot fix this issue in *any libc implementation which is using NSS*.
Apps don't need to make use of the affected APIs in glibc and even if they
do the problem is not a show stopper as long as you keep the app build in
sync. So while this is a potential problem, it is not a blocking problem
that justifies throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Other reasons are like constant changes in kernel<>userspace
changes on all
unices are part of the problem as well.
Linux doesn't constantly break kernel<->user ABI, so that's a non-issue.

Daniel
