Use DEEPBIND to load the nss modules.  Helps thunderbird (linked against its
own version of the ldap libs) when using nss_ldap (linked against system
libldap) leading to crashes due to incompatibilities.

This has a downside: Linking against libraries overriding malloc() and free()
will break (unless the malloc()'d pointers by glibc are free()able by these).
This is fixable in principle, just needs some work.
