Thanks for the debugging, but I have to say I am not convinced by the
explanation. Why is FREEBL_NO_DEPEND=1 the default if it doesn't work?
Why was it working before, and what broke it?

Setting or not setting FREEBL_NO_DEPEND has impact in a lot of parts of
the libnss code, I don't think we should do this lightly.

Could you research more when this broke (i.e which version bump in
Buildroot), and then which commit in NSS causes this breakage? I don't
want to blindly set this obscure variable.

Has this issue been reported upstream?
