I'm really grateful for Michael Forney's work on this project since I found it a good resource for getting a variety of popular packages to build statically.
I ended up starting my own statically-linked Linux distro, but with some creative differences like shell scripts (vs Lua scripts) and package management. I recently "finished" it (close enough anyway) to the point that I run it as my daily driver.
Not trying to plug my project (it's not public, not yet anyway) but if anyone wants to discuss this sort of thing (distro creation and static linking in particular) and compare notes via email, I'd be happy to.
