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.

Research direction
The issue requests a statically linked binary to avoid glibc dependency. Review the repository's build configuration (e.g., Makefile, build scripts) to add static linking flags. Ensure that all dependencies can be statically linked, and test the resulting binary on a system without glibc. No linked PRs or specific maintainer guidance are available.
