I didn't have time to understand how dynamic libraries work in Linux, but can some of these problems be cured by static compilation? It's not clear for me how, but if we have say static-bash will it save from ldconfig troubles?

No. However, I just realized that we need to save the libraries
somehow since sorcery dispels glibc before the make install.

It might work if the ld.so link is restored right after the make
install and another ldconfig is done. However, only major glibc
updates seem to be affected so we might want to leave things as they
are for now.
