The part of the problem here is that they've dropped support for true
static builds. I remember the hell I've got through to recompile it for
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, it took the whole day to download dependencies and fix
obsolete patches etc. so in the end I was really scared to death.

Anyway I am not really sure whether it is possible to do a static build
of glibc... I wonder whether it is possible to link it against a newer
version of glibc and bundle them together.
