I recommend you using MUSLibc instead of Glibc because those Glibc
devs decided to make static binary a broken feature.

I recently stuggled to make a static binary for malamute:

https://github.com/zoobab/malamute/blob/master/builds/static/Dockerfile

The 2 important changes here are:

./configure --disable-shared
make LDFLAGS="-all-static -s"

Best,

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
