If that package is not installed the build fails with: CC exec_target /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status All exec_target.c does is call sys_exit, which can be done easily enough using inline assembly, and removes the requirement for a static libc to be installed.

Call SYS_exit using syscall(2) which doesn't seem to have this problem.
