I never heard that you are not allowed to create static executables!! Any linux provide also a set of static libraries. Only certain libraries are dynamic and these days, you do not get a static version of glibc. So, don't worry, you can compile jalv2 statically, it won't include glibc. You don't need musl, I will look into it, but it is not needed.
