There has been some debate over whether this namespace collision will
cause us to hold up the release.
We should probably decide on this soon.
Would anyone like to symmarize the case why it *should* cause us to hold
up the release?
The alternative is to document that if you have a static libc which has
NIS, you should configure --with-netlibs=resolv where libresolv.a is a
resolver library that doesn't have any of the NIS/YP crap in it....
