static-binaries

some static binaries for linux, maybe useful for bootstrapping, no big deal

details

• built with/via crosware
• binaries are built with musl-cross-make compilers
• static compilers are available at musl-misc
• sabotage's netbsd-curses is used to avoid external termcap/terminfo db
• can be run with proper qemu-${ARCH}-static setup directly on a system or in a docker container

note!

⚠️ big stinking warning ⚠️

• binaries almost certainly will not be the latest version!
• some architectures may or may not be in sync, have all binaries available, etc.!

these may be useful but they're a means to an end, so don't replace your userspace with these...

updates will be provided, possibly, sometime, on an "i guess i should maybe update that" basis.
