To set the record straight, the current glibc maintainership considers
static linking supported. I don't have the citations right off, but
there have been several threads in which issues of current breakage
with static linking, or avoiding future breakage, came up, and each
time the position seems to have been that static linking is supported.
I could probably dig them up if anybody's interested.
