You forgot:
* Allow statically-linked programs to use dynamic NSS modules
by forking a (dynamically-linked) resolver process when
needed.
This leads to a related, but widely disparaged option:
* Have a persistent NSS caching daemon with an RPC interface
that all programs can access for NSS lookups. You might
call such a program `nscd'. (Might as well be honest about
it.)
Both of these options may incidentally help to resolve threading
issues in the C library (although that would not be the preferred way
of doing so).
