Trying to build libc with --disable-shared and --enable-static-nssfails

Hi,

I cloned glibc tree and trying to build it with --disable-shared and
--enable-static-nss and build fails. Following is part of the long
list of error message.

/root/git/glibc/nis/nis_callback.c:373: undefined reference to
`xprt_unregister'
/root/git/glibc/nis/nis_callback.c:376: undefined reference to `xdr_free'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [all] Error 2

I did following

- git clone git://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git
- create another directory for build
- ../glibc/configure --enable-static-nss --disable-shared --prefix=/root/vivek-glibc/
- make

Is there something wrong with my process?

I just want to build a glibc I can statically link against. And I don't
want glibc to dynamically open any of the nss modules.

Thanks
