Since quite a while ago (a month or so I guess) I had read this blog post by OCamlPro[1] about generating static PIE with OCaml.
The first project on where I have tried doing so was Logarion[2] , and afterwards bumpmap-tool[2], each using a different build system.
In the 1st case I had to add the field '(flags (:standard -cclib -static))' to the 'cli/dune' file and rebuilt with 'dune build'
As for the 2nd case I added '-cclib -static' to the 'ocamlopt' flags in the command line and rebuilt.
I ran the ldd command in both (test done on a musl-based distro) only to have this output:
- /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1: (insert executable name here): Not a valid dynamic program
Which means that it does actually work, but I'm not sure whether it could work for bigger projects.
I think that's all I've got to say here.
