compiling rsync statically

[roland]

hello !

i try to compile rsync statically, so i added -static to the Makefile/CFLAGS

it get:

uidlist.o(.text+0x705): In function `add_gid':
/tmp/rsync-2.6.8/uidlist.c:75: warning: Using 'getgrgid' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
util.o(.text+0x16ba): In function `name_to_gid':
/tmp/rsync-2.6.8/util.c:486: warning: Using 'getgrnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
util.o(.text+0x16fa): In function `name_to_uid':
/tmp/rsync-2.6.8/util.c:472: warning: Using 'getpwnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking
uidlist.o(.text+0x775): In function `add_uid':

/tmp/rsync-2.6.8/socket.c:145: warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking

ldd tells "not a dynamic executable"

i`m puzzled - how can rsync need shared library on the "runtime system", if it is static - i mean:  is this static now or is it not ? 
does somebody know what problems may occur with this ?

there is some statically linked rsync available at http://www.stearns.org/rsync-static/ - so i`m unsure how to get a REAL statically compiled rsync

can anybody help me out ?

TIA
