Hi Kelly, I'd like you to do a code review. The JDK links with libnsl on Linux, but this is an unused dependency.
Here's a patch to stop linking with it - very similar to the handling of libsocket: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~martin/webrevs/openjdk7/libnsl I don't know whether libnsl is also unused on Solaris - I'll leave that up to someone else. Solaris and Linux libnsls are very different. Thanks, Martin
