Name resolution libraries are loaded dynamically [1,2], so glibc can't be linked statically if you want NSS to work. I gather there might be a way to explicitly link to a specific resolution library but this is practically unsupported/poorly documented.

I understand this limitation. I can currently get around this by using --enable-static-nss. Does rust currently expose any way to do this? Could I perform linking myself as a workaround?

You can but it requires lots of black magic, and certainly a nightly rather than beta Rust ;) http://mainisusuallyafunction.blogspot.com/2015/01/151-byte-static-linux-binary-in-rust.html http://mainisusuallyafunction.blogspot.com/2015/01/151-byte-... is an old blog post that can get you started.
