Looking through my /bin and /sbin, none of the files are statically linked.


Hrmm what distro? I haven't looked in sometime, maybe something changed (Slackware here). My understanding was static linkage in boot related folders was to minimize chance of accidentally losing a library/dependency and breaking booting.


Looked at both Debian and Redhat.


How can one discern whether a file is statically linked?


file(1) or ldd(1)
