libnsl has been deprecated from Glibc and no other libc provide it.
Also there is no libnsl package in Buildroot yet, so remove -lnsl for
all toolchains.

libnsl is now a library that can be packaged later if needed. [1]

Note: Fedora 28 has switched to the new libnsl library that bring
IPV6 support. [2]
