After I did look more into fixing it there is no way to get around the libresolv.so which depends on libnsl 1.9.1 (This is the case since update 5) unless we would downgrade our whole buildfarm. (Which will not work since we need T CPU Server Support which is not present in Update 5 iirc) So I agree we should put on the page that for all packages to function you need Update 5 Kernel installed. We should leave the map files in place though since if libresolv/libnsl is not used it then would work on an older Kernel Version.
