In addition to the static linking of the nss libraries into the
executable, you'll also link the /someplace/other/than/default/lib/libc.a
into the executable. Since there are some instances in header file
compatibility between the system kernel headers and the glibc headers
(for example certain system call numbers and signal numbers), I definitely
reiterate my recommendation of using the same version of glibc as you
have on the compilation machine.

Glad I could help.
