Ian Taylor has explained that the messages about libc are spurious, so you can either ignore those or install some kind of a Valgrind exception. However, I really implore you: by all means link statically to everything else, but leave libc dynamically linked. I'm not aware of any reason not to link libc dynamically, and not doing so leads to a ton of problems. Andrew.
