The problem appears not for "building" static dar binary, but for "using"
static binary as using NSS service requires the same glibc library used
which is used when building static-dar.

And this is NSS feature and not specified to fedora. Debian seems to
have static dar binary, however I think this is wrong anyway. 
So I think if using static dar is preferable, the source code of dar
used for static mode surely needs fixing so as not to use NSS service.

My current opinion is that this is dar-static bug and dar-static should
not be included unless source code is fixed properly.
