It does make a huge difference. Static linking glibc contributes at
least 500k of bloat even if you don't use any libc functions at all.
Here's some comparison data (based on my own tests, possibly mildly
biased, and also several years outdated for glibc, so glibc might
actually be larger now) which might be useful:
