One more data point from testing the static build: the tarball includes the full toolchain outputs (bitcoind, bitcoin-cli, bitcoin-tx, bitcoin-wallet, bitcoin-util) all statically linked — verified with readelf (no INTERP segment) and ldd (statically linked). Size overhead vs dynamic build is modest. Ran clean regtest cycle: chainstate creation, RPC, block generation. Solid for reproducibility-focused node ops.
