Description

@kuznero

In NixOS for example it is necessary to patchelf --set-interpreter on each executable that is dynamically linked. And taking into account the way different editor plugins/extensions download updates it would be wise to ensure that it can run without additional steps to remedy problems like this.

An example of how it is possible to produce fully statically linked binaries in Rust can be found in the blog post Building statically linked binaries in Rust.

If it is going to be an accepted approach going forward, I can volunteer to craft a PR to produce such binary and make it part of the release flow if necessary.
