I have missed this reply back in April 8-(

What is the usage of a module named nis_failed.so on NetBSD or IRIX? 
Python is not searching for modules with an inserted _failed.

IMHO there is not need to include nis_failed.so on any platform. 
If NIS is supported only nis.so is used. Therefore I have provided a patch that 
omit 
nis_failed.so. This should be valid for every platform.

The QNX specific part should disable the inclusion of nis.so. But that
is another aspect. Though it is integrated in the same patch.
