Statically linked packages with musl in OpenEmbedded

I have posted about an updated rebuild of the Dunfell-series packages in OpenEmbedded, previous post here:

https://bkhome.org/news/202108/openembedded-dunfell-aarch64-rebuild.html

In the initrd (initramfs) of EasyOS, there are statically-linked utilities, linked with musl to obtain small size. I had compiled these for x86_64 and aarch64 at different times and using different methods, but have decided to pull them all together. They are now all compiled in OpenEmbedded. Here they are:

binutils-static          2.28
busybox-initramfs-static 1.30.1
busybox-static           1.32.0
coreutils-static         8.29
e2fsprogs-static         1.45.4
gnupg1-static            1.4.23
hdparm-static            9.58
idump-static             20180513
libcap-static            2.45
make-static              4.2.1
mped-static              3.3.17
ncurses-static           6.2
pup-tools-c-static       20210409
squashfs-tools-static    4.4
util-linux-static        2.35.1

Not currently using utilities from all of those packages, but have compiled all of them in case want them sometime in the future. Note that ncurses-static has static libraries required to compile mped-static, as the standard ncurses package only has shared libraries. Note also, mped-static has the 'mp' console editor. And, libcap-static has the binary executable 'capsh', also used in the initrd.

I will upload the latest OpenEmbedded-Dunfell project tarball soon.
