That is an add-on intended to include some libs/modules that will
enhance glibc 2.1 backwards compatibility with glibc 2.0 (old nss modules
and a compat lib that can be used to link in glibc-2.0 object files into a
program compiled on a glibc 2.1 system). Currently, just an experiment
(although the nss modules part works)
