Name-Resolution is not directly contained in glibc.

It uses /lib/libnss_*, configured by /etc/nsswitch.conf (and all the old
files like /etc/resolv.conv and more)

The libnss-Files are not loaded at program start-time, instead they are
loaded when the are to be used first. And even when statically compiled,
they are loaded dynamically (and a major pita if you use programs static
linked against different glibc versions)
