You're using Reiser4? nss is an executable, and with Reiser4 not just directories but also files with execute permission set can be chdir'ed into. GCC gets confused, because it can't get a directory listing (since nss is just a file), so it gives a warning and looks for the next nss it can find. On other file systems, you shouldn't get that warning, but the warnings shouldn't cause any incorrect code.
are you using reiserfs4 ? if so, i really wish people would stop filing bugs with it ...
This is definitely Reiser4-related. When it's sufficiently stable for one of the glibc guys to start using it, these bugs will disappear. Until then, we're chasing a moving target, and as such, considering how often we release glibc snapshots, it's not worth our while fixing this. Reopening...
...and invalidating. Sorry mate, but we don't have the manpower to handhold the glibc guys through this - they need to do it themselves. If you want this to get fixed properly, bug Ulrich Drepper or someone like that.
