Linking glibc in fully static mode is mostly unsupported. While such binaries can easily be produced, conflicting symbols will often make them crash at runtime. This happens because glibc will always (try to) load some dynamically linked libraries, even when statically linked. This includes things like the resolver, unicode/locale handling and others. Internally at Google, this is not a concern due to the way glibc is being built there. But in order to make all of our tests run in the open-source version of this code, we need to change strategy a bit. As a rule of thumb, glibc can safely be linked statically if a program is resonably simple and does not use any networking of locale dependent facilities. Calling syscalls directly instead of the corresponding libc wrappers works as well, of course. This change adjusts linker flags and sandbox policies to be more compatible with regular Linux distributions. Tested: - `ctest -R '[A-Z].*'` (all SAPI/Sandbox2 tests) PiperOrigin-RevId: 429025901 Change-Id: I46b677d9eb61080a8fe868002a34a77de287bf2d |

What is Sandboxed API?
The Sandboxed API project (SAPI) makes sandboxing of C/C++ libraries less burdensome: after initial setup of security policies and generation of library interfaces, a stub API is generated, transparently forwarding calls using a custom RPC layer to the real library running inside a sandboxed environment.
Additionally, each SAPI library utilizes a tightly defined security policy, in contrast to the typical sandboxed project, where security policies must cover the total syscall/resource footprint of all its libraries.
Documentation
Developer documentation is available on the Google Developers site for Sandboxed API.
There is also a Getting Started guide.
