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.
