static linking warning

[burlen]

Hi all,

I am encountering a warning which I would like to understand a little 
better.

p4_secure.c: warning: Using 'getpwuid' in statically linked applications 
requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for 
linking

I am building an app with the --static flag. I have attempted to make 
sure that all of the components of this app are linked against 
statically linked libraries. This call is part of the underlying system. 
But why would I get this warning? Why wouldn't those functions be linked 
in statically as well?

Thanks
Burlen
