It is worth to note that glibc do not work properly with static
linking. All functions using PAM and NSS do not work, so binaries
using such functions will fail when presented with incompatible
modules on disk.
This normally make static linking useless to make sure binaries keep
working independently of the shared libraries available on disk.
