For anybody trying to build a static binary: Thanks to Han Boetes for the post here, advising to use musl. Thanks to Florian Dejonckheere for posting this script: https://github.com/JBBgameich/rsync-static Here is my small contrib on this, for the lazy folks. I download the musl prebuild binaries for my arch from skarnet.org/toolchains My script is posted here: https://github.com/nwaizer/rsync-static/blob/main/build_static.sh or below: #!/bin/bash # based on the solution by Florian Dejonckheere < florian at floriandejonckheere.be> # at https://github.com/JBBgameich/rsync-static mkdir toolchain echo "I: Downloading prebuilt toolchain" wget --continue https://skarnet.org/toolchains/native/x86_64-linux-musl_pc-11.3.0.tar.xz -O /tmp/x86_64-linux-musl_pc.tar.xz|| echo "Failed to find x86_64-linux-musl_pc-11.3.0.tar.xz.
