Re:Solo – a .so loader for static Linux binaries by shevy-java on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @04:09AM (#49358531)
Can you really mix it? When I break or remove a shared lib, some binaries no longer work. With static libs or even better, e. g. statically compiled busybox, I don't have that issue, so I disagree on the claim that mixing solves everything as such. I keep the basic toolchain I use as statically compiled variant. The whole system works better if I can break it less easily.

I'm not sure that's particularly relevant; if I null out bits of the statically linked binary to remove some code paths, they break too.
