Description

Any chance the default binarycould be statically linked for rkt. I've been try to get rkt working seemlessly on RancherOS. Got most everything working it seems but the big hangup is that by default we don't have glibc. We can install it, but would just be nice if we didn't have too.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Modify the build system to produce a statically linked binary. Investigate current build scripts (e.g., ./build) and add flags like ldflags ' extldflags " static"' or use musl.
