Yes, we can remove `glibc-static` from the RHEL env. ARK is *kinda* upstream
so I'd need to double check we'd not break anything else by doing that, since
we inherited the binary from some upstream run in the past. I did offer this
solution in the original email thread, and it is a possibility, but IMO it's
not the whole solution in this case:
One negative of doing that is that developers/users building the kernel on
various local environments will run into the inconsistency of the configs that
can puzzle them. Having either the config or the dependency stable (always
on/off) would prevent the confusion. Basically what @prarit said about a known
compile but across *any* environment.
