Install libnsl by running the following commands:

autoreconf -fi                &&
./configure --sysconfdir=/etc &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user:

make install                  &&
mv /usr/lib/libnsl.so.2* /lib &&
ln -sfv ../../lib/libnsl.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libnsl.so

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

mv -v /usr/lib/libnsl.so.2* ...: Move shared libraries into /lib so they are available before /usr is mounted.
