Stali is definately a topic, forgot to mention this. The project idea a colleague of mine at work came up with is creating wether a completely new ld or ld wrapper at the least to collect all info when a shared lib/executable is linked and using this info to create a static library/executable instead, basically kind of a tee ld if you like, where one result invisible to the caller is a static lib instead of a dynamic one ;) This would enable building nearly everything statically without the need of extra makefiles. I don't consider this approach for the base system, since the value in it is all about decent make files, but this might be a cool project for all other stuff and would fit the GSoC scope quite well.
