I was able to get static linking working recently using docker alpine images and ghcup to install GHC based on the musl library. The details are in my Stan fork [1]. This borrowed heavily from ShellCheck's static linking release system except it uses cabal v2-build instead of v1.

Hi!

I know of the command line argument "-static". But this only affects
the Haskell libraries. I want to link some programs completely
statically, no external libraries needed.

When just linking with "-static" I still have those dynamically linked
things:

desktop ~/bin $ ldd sicherung
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffdab53f000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6
(0x00007f3633da0000)
librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1
(0x00007f3633d95000)
libutil.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libutil.so.1
(0x00007f3633d90000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2
(0x00007f3633d8a000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
(0x00007f3633d67000)
libgmp.so.10 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.so.10
(0x00007f3633ce3000)
libatomic.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libatomic.so.1
(0x00007f3633cd7000)
libffi.so.7 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.7
(0x00007f3633ccb000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
(0x00007f3633ad9000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f3633f0c000)

Is it possible to link the remaining libraries statically too?

Regards,
Volker
