For example the GNU C library glibc is not really intended for fully static linking, but you can use musl as an alternative libc instead. Probably the easiest way is to use static-haskell-nix [1].

I've tried to build it from the git sources, as well as from the latest release, but that failed. I'd have to look into nix, which is new to me. Be it as it may, it isn't that important for me right now. But thank you very much for your tips. Maybe I'll be going back to them later.

Hi Volker, You may also want to check out ghc-musl project https://github.com/utdemir/ghc-musl which provides compiled docker images to build atatic executables for various ghc versions.

Re: Linking completely statically
I was able to get static linking working recently using docker alpine images and ghcup to install GHC based on the musl library. The details are in my Stan fork [1]. This borrowed heavily from ShellCheck's static linking release system except it uses cabal v2-build instead of v1.
