> Do you think a statically linked binary will run with Wayland+1 ?
Yes, yes it will. The baseline stuff (the base protocol and xdg_shell) has been stable for years. Of course, one might argue that the caveman byte poking provided there turns a modern machine into a slightly faster 15-year-old one, and I agree it does. (It’s still fun to do as an experiment.)
But the moment you try to actually leverage the GPU the modern Linux desktop forces you to abandon static linking in order to load pieces of the graphics driver into your address space, and unfortunately those pieces will in turn force you to dynamically link the distro’s preferred libc (likely Glibc) and libwayland (as opposed to any other protocol implementation).
So either you poke pixels into a byte buffer by hand, and your question gets an answer in the affirmative simply because that foundational layer is fairly small, or you take advantage of the hardware, and your question becomes moot because you can no longer statically link.
