Some files are dynamically linked: conmon, fuse-overlayfs, fusermount3, slirp4netns

Can these binaries be statically compiled

mgoltzsche commented

@Poorunga all but fusermount3 were actually statically linked.
In mgoltzsche/podman:1.9.0 fusermount3 is now statically linked as well.

Regarding the linking what may have confused you (confused me once):

  • Within an alpine container ldd <BINARY> lists musl:
$ docker run --rm --entrypoint /bin/sh mgoltzsche/podman:1.8.2 -c 'ldd /usr/libexec/podman/conmon'
	/lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x7f20c0b5f000)
  • Same binary on my Ubuntu host:
$ docker create --name pmtest mgoltzsche/podman:1.8.2
$ docker cp pmtest:/usr/libexec/podman/conmon conmon
$ ldd conmon
	statically linked
