Thanks for that idea, but the main goal for now was to make zsh-static
survive glibc upgrades in Debian (Unstable first and foremost).

Not the first time I've read that, yes.

I've just checked: At least bash-static, busybox-static and sash
(static by default as that's its purpose) are built against glibc in
Debian, so I'll probably stay with glibc for now in Debian's
zsh-static package.

Nevertheless thanks for that hint. Will keep it in mind in case we run
into more severe glibc issues with static builds in the future.

		Kind regards, Axel
