Solution

  • How do I install static versions of glibc on CentOS 8

    # dnf search glibc
# dnf provides */libc.a
         // both commands will (also) reply: glibc-static
# dnf install glibc-static

    Note : glibc-static is in this repo: /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-PowerTools.repo 

    # dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools

    Package list, "PowerTools" http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/PowerTools/x86_64/os/Packages/
