Statically link libs for general Linux

The docker image as-is requires the host to have libraries. Recommend statically linking them instead so that it works across environments.

I don’t use docker much, so I don’t know the difference.
But isn’t the docker image itself cross-platform? Why do I need to deal with cross-platform differences?
I merged the change anyway.

Thanks!

Docker still piggyback's off of the host system for certain things since it's not a VM/OS. Assuming that the docker container was running fine on your end, it was probably getting the correct glib references thru your host.

In this case I'd say it's more due to Rust's compiler's design decision to assume that glib is going to be available in the runtime environment.
