Earlier, you wrote:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
It is mentioned in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
~~~~~~~
...
passwd: files sss
shadow: files sss
group: files sss
services: files sss
netgroup: files sss
...
~~~~~~~
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(See <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=19780#74>.)
What happens is that libnss_sss.so was being loaded in your Emacs
process. However, the Emacs process was linked against Guix’s libc,
whereas libnss_sss.so was linked against Fedora’s libc. Hence the
crash.
When nscd is running, NSS extensions are loaded in the nscd process so
there is no such problem.
