::: in any case, if you can not avoid running an external process or if you dlopen a 3rd party library then please point this out in the description.--[[User:EMBee|eMBee]] 17:07, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

:::: Hmm... this warrants some thought: libc is the portable (documented) interface to the unix kernel. It can hypothetically be a static library but that is extremely rare nowadays -- almost everything requires an external libc. That said, there's also the question of "which libc", and the one used at build time is probably the right answer to that question (there will be a hard coded path in the executable which references libc for almost every working program out there in unix land). Or, that's how I would like to characterize the problem. And I think this thinking routinely applies in most all chroots. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 17:14, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
