getauxval() works fine for static builds. This was already fixed
a while ago, see the commit message of the patch for more details.

+Subject: [PATCH] buildsys: install sys/auxv.h for static builds again
+
+getauxval() has not needed ld.so since 227b7c825 and 737a0edf4 ("Make
+getauxval work with static linking", "Support non-cached entries in
+getauxval", v1.0.52): _dl_auxvt and _dl_auxv_start are defined in
+libc/misc/elf/dl-support.c for the static libc, and __uClibc_main calls
+_dl_aux_init() on that path too.  The static libc.a carries getauxval,
+__getauxval, _dl_aux_init, _dl_auxvt and _dl_auxv_start.
+
+Its header is still withheld, though.  df81bd1e2 ("getauxval: remove
+header for static builds") put sys/auxv.h next to dlfcn.h in the
+HEADERS_RM line that applies when HAVE_SHARED is unset, as a way around
+the link error of the day -- a package that probed for getauxval would
+not find a declaration and would take its fallback path.  That error is
+gone and the workaround outlived it: a static sysroot installs 70 of the
+71 headers in include/sys, and the one missing is auxv.h.
+
+So a static configuration of, say, openssl fails with "sys/auxv.h: No
+such file or directory", which reads like a missing feature rather than
+a withheld declaration.
+
+Measured on riscv64 with a static configuration and gcc 10.5.0: with the
+header installed, a
+statically linked program answers AT_PAGESZ as 4096, matching
+sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE), returns every entry of /proc/self/auxv unchanged,
+and reports ENOENT for a type that was not passed -- both for a type
+inside the cached range and for one above it, which takes the search
+over the whole vector.
+
+dlfcn.h and bits/dlfcn.h stay removed.
