[swift-users] Statically linked binaries on linux

[Daniel Dunbar]

We don't currently build static versions of the other libraries (Foundation, XCTest), or a support process for picking them up.

This is covered by:
  https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-648

As you note, it largely works for Swift-only, so this is feasible but we need someone to drive it. Are you interested in working on it?
