The CI failed because it was denied install of /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2 but it is not obvious to me that this is related to my change. Is the case?

Can you provide some more information on the copyright holders and license of the original file?

Thanks for providing the NetBSD support!

This is related to the --with-nss-libdir change. Previously it would use the value of --libdir which is /usr/lib by default. Can NetBSD NSS modules only be installed in /lib?

On FreeBSD configure is commonly called with:

./configure --enable-warnings --enable-pynslcd --enable-utils \
  --with-pam-seclib-dir=/usr/local/lib --prefix=/usr/local \
  --mandir=/usr/local/man --infodir=/usr/local/info/ \
  CC=cc CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing' \
  LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib' \
  CPP=cpp CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include

So you could also pass the appropriate flags to the configure script when installing on NetBSD.

I don't have a NetBSD VM at the moment to test this on but I'll try to set one up.

CVS log tells that the initial committer of the file was Matthias Drochner. I assume he is the author of the file: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/databases/nss_ldap/files/netbsd.c The file carries no license, and Matthias died on 2018-08-04 as noted here: https://www.netbsd.org/people/developers.html
