Hello,

Here is a second version of the patches to fix bug #7142. As I
proposed, this new version takes a simplified approach: it creates an
autonomous getent package, which simply installs the toolchain's
getent program when the toolchain is glibc based, and otherwise
installed the wrapper script borrowed from uclibc sources. This new
solution avoids doing complicated stuff in the toolchain support, and
completely isolates all the logic in the getent package.

It is functionally identical to the previously proposed solution,
except for internal uClibc toolchains: in the previous solution, the
getent script from the uClibc sources was used, while with this
solution, it's a fixed version inside the getent package that is being
used. However, considering the very simple nature of the script, it's
unlikely to be changed frequently in uClibc sources, so this
difference shouldn't cause much troubles.

Thanks,

Thomas
