The full context should have been pasted:

% #if defined(_NSS_DEBUG) && defined(_NSS_SHOOT_FOOT)
%         /* NOTE WELL:  THIS IS A SECURITY HOLE. This must only be built
%          * for debugging purposes and MUST NEVER be used in production.
%          */
%         path = getenv("NSSWITCH_CONF");
%         if (path == NULL)
% #endif
%         path = _PATH_NS_CONF;
