This is what I think too. Linux ecosystem mostly depends on dynamic linking, in a way that statically compiling all the dependencies is not easy. The flag "-static" isn't magic, so building a static binary from a project without official static linking support is hard. Recently, I just tried to build a php binary for a system I don't have root access. Since that system don't have many things that are required to build php, I decided to build a static binary on my computer. Then, its dependencies are really complicated to compile with static linking, so I still can't get it work.
