From what I have seen in major OSS projects like systemd and PostgreSQL, nothing seems to support static linking, to the point where some contributors get annoyed when you ask for it.
Seems like the C/C++ ecosystem will stay dynamically linked, even with a lot of the industry shifting towards statically linked, fat binaries as disk space is pretty cheap.
I wonder how much simpler Linux packaging would be if everything was statically linked...
