Congrats on the release!

How standalone are the standalone executables produced by `bun build`? Is a libc or equivalent expected to be present?

Bun does need glibc, but older glibc versions should work okay because of this: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/78229da76048e72aa4d92516...

We haven't implemented polyfills for everything yet though, like Bun uses posix_spawn and doesn't have an exec + fork fallback

Bun's dependencies otherwise are statically linked

> Bun does need glibc

Wait, are we talking about what Bun needs to run or what standalone executables produced by bun build need in order to run?

Both, the executables produced by bun are the bun binary concatenated to your script at the end. Try building a hello world and run `tail -c200 hello | xxd` to see your script at the end of the file.

Is there any plan to allow for statically linking with musl to get completely shared-lib-dependency-free executables?
