It doesn't make sense to "statically link" a kernel to a program, or multiple programs together, which I read your comment to suggest. That would be a different thing than the term "statically link" refers to.

- singron 6y agoI think they might be referring to a unikernel. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unikernel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unikernel In userspace, you can do what busybox does and link a bunch of programs together with a single main function that decides which program to actually run.
