Hmm.. this one is actually related to the libtraceevent.  It seems glibc
(and libdl) emits warnings if a static build try to link to the libdl
functions (for obvious reason) and/or nss functions (which might use
libdl).

I found this article [1] but couldn't find how can suppress them.  But
as it's for loading plugins at runtime, we can disable the plugin
support for static builds if we really nervous about the warnings.

Likewise.

This one is different and seems like linking with libbfd but without zlib?

Thanks,
