I'm curious how it handles the client side dns resolver. That's one of the sticking points for "fully static linking".

Edit: Looks like it uses musl's resolver. Which is better than I remember it when using it a long time ago. It does still lack some things like IDN/punycode support. And things like this: https://twitter.com/richfelker/status/994629795551031296?lan...

Pluggable authentication modules (PAM) may also be an issue with this setup, probably at least requires a lot of manual research and twiddling.



The musl resolver also lacks "no-aaaa" which glibc grew a week or two ago.
