Building ECL as a static library

[Daniel Kochmański]

Hello,

Thanks for raising this question. It is a feature that was requested a few times already. ECL works when cross-compiled, but you need to compile it against the target's libc.

Currently ECL always (even when statically linked) links dynamically against the target libc (if you've ever seen an error for executables that glibc is not compatible - that's this sort of issue).

In the future (but not in the imminent release) I want to add the possibility to link with libc statically (i.e musl), so the executable may be moved between machines with incompatible libc libraries.

Best regards,
Daniel
