Issue
The following warning was appearing when building the program:
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libnsl.so.1, needed by /path/<libname>.so, may conflict with libnsl.so.2
<libname>.so is an independent software vendor's library, and the program is during the build getting linked with that, and it with libnsl.so.2.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8
- libnsl.so.2
- libnsl.so.1
- A shared library from an Independent software vendor (ISV), which uses libnsl.so.1
