Thank you for reporting this bug, and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, I don't believe that it's possible to really statically link against glibc. See <http://people.redhat.com/drepper/no_static_linking.html> for more details.

You could try to convince upstream glibc developers to support real static linking, but that would be a major architectural change, and I'm not sure that it's technically possible. It's certainly outside the scope of changes that the Ubuntu project could reasonably make.
