tmpfiles.d feature does not work for statically-linked Finit et al.

[vazub]

As the title says, when building Finit binaries statically linked, tmpfiles.d feature is not working, namely:

• the temporary dirs are not getting created according to config rules
• finit.debug=true log does not show any activity with regard to required files/dirs management

Tracking the issue down revealed, that the required functionality is managed by bootmisc module, that does not seem to get initialized, even though it was compiled and linked statically into the final binary.

When linked dynamically, the issue is not observed.

Finit versions tested: 4.4, 4.5, 4.7 Distro: custom

Thank you for the report!

As I'm not an active user of the static build myself, and unfortunately never have been. This issue is a great example of where this project needs active help from the community to debug, fix, to help keep the static build alive. Otherwise it will likely have to be removed. Yes, this means I'm willing to (happily) reconsider what I said in #368.

I'll see what I can do, but alas, I do not specialize in C programming per se, and therefore it will take me quite a while to get up to speed with it, unless I find the bug to be rather trivial. We will see.
