Yet another wictim of static linking with glibc?

Grab http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.2.1.tar.bz2

It has the following:

#if ENABLE_STATIC && defined(__GLIBC__)
#warning Static linking against glibc produces buggy executables
#warning See sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3400
#warning Note that glibc is utterly unsuitable for static linking anyway.
#endif
