I've used the "smith" tool as well [1]. It has some additonal help with 
dynamically linked code. It will use "ldd", recursively, to track 
dependencies and automatically add those. It will also do a couple of 
other things, like making the filesystem read only.

Yeah, it helps. Although it still possible to statically link with 
glibc, although you might get some warnings.
