Static Multicall Binary

Posted Sep 23, 2026 20:26 UTC (Wed) by gutschke (subscriber, #27910) [Link]

That fact that systemd can now be built as a single statically linked multicall binary is really impressive. I remember there being a lot of discussions about dlopen() getting into the way. This is a very welcome feature for small containers. Can't wait to see who will adopt it.
