Thanks for pointing this out.

Okay, okay, your wish is my command ;-)

emeric@longspeak:~$ ldd /usr/lib/klibc/bin/sh
               not a dynamic executable

Checked with:

emeric@longspeak:~$ file /usr/lib/klibc/bin/sh
/usr/lib/klic/bin/sh: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, IA-64, version 1
(SYSV), statically linked, stripped

emeric@longspeak:~$ /usr/lib/klibc/bin/sh -c 'echo hi'
hi
