Hmm, do you mean the general case of any library linked statically, or
the special case where have an rpm with a static version of the library
(libfoo-static) and build another rpm with this?
The general case of any statically linked code. It could be libgcc,
startup files, the non-shared bits of glibc, static-only libraries, or
header-only C++ libraries.
