build for backward compatibility, no linking possible) and disable building
of libnss_compat, libnss_nis and libnss_nisplus, except --enable-obsolete-nsl

+* The NIS(+) name service modules, libnss_nis, libnss_nisplus, and

+  Only a few NIS-related programs require this library.
+  A replacement implementation based on TIRPC is available from

+  name service modules, the replacement supports IPv6, and it can be

+  headers, and the NIS(+) name service modules, to be built and
+  installed.  This option may be removed in a future release.
