	* nis/Makefile (libnss_compat-routines): Add build dependency
	  on nss-nis.
	* nis/nss: New variable SPLIT_GROUPS.
	* nis/libnsl.h: New flag NSS_FLAG_SPLIT_GROUPS.
	* nis/nss-default.c: Likewise.
	* nss_compat/compat-initgroups.c: Do not use initgroups_dyn
	  in case NSS_FLAG_SPLIT_GROUPS is set.
