Error when statically compiling w `rustls-tls` feature: "error: linking with `cc` failed:"

[ElijahLynn]

I followed https://book.goose.rs/config/rustls.html?highlight=rust-tls#rustls and am trying to statically compile a Linux target and getting this error. And here is my Cargo.toml too:

[dependencies]
goose = { version = "^0.16", default-features = false, features = ["rustls-tls"] }
tokio = "^1.12"
goose-eggs = "0.4"
rand = "0.8.5"
rustls = "0.20.6"
#openssl = { version = "0.10", features = ["vendored"] }

error: could not compile `loadtest` due to previous error

[ElijahLynn]

I had also tried with #openssl = { version = "0.10", features = ["vendored"] } (which is why it is commented out, but am getting a segmentation fault (see https://github.com/naftulikay/rust-openssl-static-example/issues/5#issuecomment-1145998505) after a minute or two of 20-30 users running with the static binary.

It seems you're running into this general problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2725255/create-statically-linked-binary-that-uses-getaddrinfo

@ElijahLynn I don't see any way to solve this. There does not seem to be any useful way to statically link the Goose binary. Sorry -- please re-open if you have ideas for how it can be fixed.
