32-bit and 64-bit nss_winbind.so on Solaris 10

[David Collier-Brown]

  Some solaris applications (appcert, for one), start as
a 32-bit app, and test to see if the thing they're manipulating
is 64-bit. If so they exec the 64-bit instance of themselves
with the same parameters.
  This might do the job for getent on any OS that supports
multiple forms of binary.
