The page states that a static build is possible so you'll get a binary you can distribute to any machine at that point.

- quietbritishjim 6y agoWithout any more clarification that doesn't quite answer the question because libc is such a special beast. Typically (but maybe not always) "static build" on Linux really means "all libraries are statically linked except libc which is dynamically linked". To make something very portable across Linux distributions, rather than statically linking libc you would dynamically link against an old version of it, as newer versions are always backwards compatible with older versions.
