Research direction
Start with the Windows nanoserver command examples and the coreutils sleep entry point; compare the reported sleep.exe and ping sizes. Determine whether static compilation is in scope and what measurable size target or build change would count as done.

Description
sleep has 9MB
I was thinking about changing classic
docker run -d --name docker-test mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2025 cmd /c ping -t localhost > NUL
to
docker run -d --name docker-test mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2025 cmd /c sleep infinity > NUL
but ping has 500kB and sleep has 9MB
So if coreutils were compiled as static builds, what would the size of sleep.exe be?
