[Bug 423252] Re: NSS using LDAP+SSL breaks setuid applications like su, sudo, apache2 suexec, and atd

[Adam Stokes]

After reviewing this bug again I've outlined a possible course of
action:

a) Revert global_init patch in all supported distro's
b) Lucid users continue to use the nscd workaround.
c) Precise,  Quantal, etc - rebuild gnutls without --with-libgcrypt in order to make use of nettle.

Unfortunately, the version of gnutls in Lucid is older than the required
gnutls version for nettle support. So I do not believe there will be
much that we can do as far as a supportable option is concerned.

I will need to speak with some other engineers about getting option c
pushed through[1].
