Currently, GLIBC must not only be installed on the host, but has to be compatible with the version the image was built with. Static linking avoids both of these issues at the cost of a slightly larger image size.

Example GLIBC incompatible error:

Error writing to stdin of the compiler. write EPIPE /node_modules/google-closure-compiler-linux/compiler: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found

I realized this isn't what we want at all.

Required to patch recent CVE. Once a package is updated, this can be switched to a standard package install.

Following the instructions on the GraalVM site, on Linux VMs we can statically link most libraries to enable greater compatibility. On x86 architectures a full static image with no dependencies is created. On Linux arm64 architectures, everything except GLIBC is statically linked.
