Control: tags -1 upstream I've found the cause of the use of the shared C library and the crash. I can notice the following warnings:
gcc -static -o zsh main.o `cat stamp-modobjs` -lgdbm -lpcre -lcap -lncursesw -ltinfo -ltinfo -lrt -lm -lc /usr/bin/ld: options.o: in function `dosetopt': ./obj-static/Src/../../Src/options.c:830: warning: Using 'initgroups' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking /usr/bin/ld: Modules/parameter.o: in function `get_all_groups': ./obj-static/Src/Modules/../../../Src/Modules/parameter.c:2058: warning: Using 'getgrgid' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking /usr/bin/ld: Modules/files.o: in function `bin_chown': ./obj-static/Src/Modules/../../../Src/Modules/files.c:763: warning: Using 'getgrnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking /usr/bin/ld: params.o: in function `usernamesetfn': ./obj-static/Src/../../Src/params.c:4420: warning: Using 'getpwnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking /usr/bin/ld: options.o: in function `dosetopt': ./obj-static/Src/../../Src/options.c:822: warning: Using 'getpwuid' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking This is exactly the issue we are seeing.
