We're trying to get rid of statically linked binaries because they make
maintenance harder. If a library that's linked in statically needs to be
updated because of bugs you need to hunt down all binaries that link in this
library and release updates for these too.
Besides, statically linking in glibc only works completely if the binary
doesn't use any name resolving functions like gethostbyname as a call to these
will need the nss* libraries and these will always be loaded dynamically, even
from a statically linked in glibc.
