Let me explain what I mean by *static*. This command-line executable does not depend on other user libraries, like *libpng*, *liblept*, or *libtess*. So, to run it on any Android device, you only need to copy a single file. But this does not include the system runtime code (*libc*,* libm*, *et al.*). Technically, it's possible to build an executable that contains also system libraries, see e.g. https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2012/08/13/how-statically-linked-programs-run-on-linux. This will result in a bigger file, but no advantages before the current version. After all, the system calls are still performed by the kernel, so even a *statically linked* executable depends on the Android system where it runs.
