This bug seems to have been inactive for many years. In the mean time
there has been a discussion on
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27731 about
getgrouplist().

The conclusion from this is that libnss-extrausers should supply a
function _nss_extrausers_initgroups_dyn() that in a thread-safe way
should provide the required information.

Via https://forge.univention.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39775 it seems
that somebody even made a patch which supplies that version, but then
still uses the non-thread safe functions to implement it.

Is there even still an upstream for this library? The only place I could
find was with debian packages such as
https://packages.debian.org/sid/libnss-extrausers . From there you can
try to find an upstream in the .dsc file. That links to
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/libnss-extrausers.git/log/?h=debian
which no longer seems to exist...
