No, the use of NSS in static binaries should work perfectly.  What
could create problem is loading and unloading of shared objects and
this is what should never be done.

I really wonder why you come up with the idea of a static NSS.  This
is not possible.  NSS modules could be coming from a third-party
package (e.g., there is a LDAP NSS module).  You wouldn't be able to
use it.
