"Because I’ve been obsessed with static linking for as long as I can remember and I’m not really sure why." Glad I'm not the only one. When I was younger, I made a hobby Linux distro that ran completely on floppies with a custom filesystem hierarchy. All the binaries were in /Programs and were statically linked against uClibc. Even X was statically linked, there was some abandoned branch of XFree86 that ran with a VESA driver and fit under 1.44 MB. I thought that I was the bee's knees. All this was still possible ~2007. Not sure how masochistic you'd have to be to try today.
