Why not? Unlike libc APIs, the syscall APIs that various libcs use
are nice and stable. I've been completely statically linking
everything in my linux distro, and like the results greatly, faster
and very portable.

The statically linked darcs from carpetcode calls _sysctl at
startup, apparently to get the kernel version:

_sysctl({{CTL_KERN, KERN_VERSION}, 2, 0xbfffecb0, 31, (nil), 0}) = 0
