I need to use docker to build static linked Linux executables. My 
reason is specific, may be different than the OP's. I'm using 
Travis-CI to build executables. Travis-CI uses Ubuntu 14.04, but 
static linking fails on 14.04. The standard C library from Ubuntu 
16.04 or later is needed. There may be other/better ways to do 
this, I don't know.
