This could indeed be the case, but I don't know how to check/solve this. 
I'm using nsswitch with winbind...

/etc/nsswitch.conf:

passwd:         compat winbind
group:          compat winbind

... but running the rsync configure script gives me!

checking compat.h usability... no
checking compat.h presence... no
checking for compat.h... no

How can I check whether rsync uses /etc/nsswitch.conf or not?

Yes, it is. I have tried with some strange names too, and got some 
"Lookup of `????????' failed "
