 Replying to [comment:14 Sebastian]:

 perfectly achievable without an entirely static tor.

 How would you begin to expect to say, survive a backdoored libc (think
 RedFlag Linux) without a totally static Tor?

 A user requested this feature in the first place for a project on Linux
 where they expect a static build to work but they don't want to open any
 libraries or do anything on the system other than exec().
