It has been a headache trying to build deb files and test them in different versions of debian and ubuntu due to libc and libxcb dependencies. It would be great if these dependencies could be statically linked. The goal is the ability to build a fully portable binary that only depends on the linux kernel and x64 architecture. It should run in any version of debian, ubuntu, arch, etc.

as long as you build with an old enough version of libc then it works reasonably well with a wide selection of linux distros.

maybe just look into libxcb first to see if static linking could make sense there
