sbcl also has the ability to statically link all your C dependencies using CFFI’s STATIC-IMAGE-OP

Clojure can also do it. Java Abstracted Foreign Function Layer https://github.com/jnr/jnr-ffi

I don't think that's exactly the same: CFFI has the ability to bind C libraries with minimal boilerplate just like jnr-ffi does. But, in addition, with CFFI (and sbcl built with a particular set of flags) you can generate an CL image that only depends on GLIBC because you've statically linked all your .so dependencies into the resulting image.
