Okay, I will update.
which will allow users to pass additional compile-time flags such as "-static".
In case there's any hesitation in applying this (Paolo asked if this was just for debugging in v1), being able to pass "-static" is helpful for our environment as our test systems have a funky and minimal configuration (no gcc, and the interpreter is in a weird location). Running selftests either requires building them with -static or creating a symbolic link for /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. It's generally easier to just tell people to compile with -static.

Thanks, I am planning to queue this for 5.17. Currently, I am waiting for some reviews on the PATCH4 (last patch).
