BPF static linking
==================

BPF as a technology keeps maturing and gaining more power. Given that,
BPF applications become ever more sophisticated, complex, and large.
Right now, BPF developers are confined to a single C source file for
compiling any BPF application, which becomes a big limitation when
multiple people and teams are working on the same application.
Additionally, BPF as a technology recently gained a dynamic linking
capabilities, so it's just natural to wonder why there is still no
static linking available yet.

There are a bunch of non-obvious BPF-specific problems that needs to
be solved for BPF static linking to become possible. We'll go over
proposed approach, tooling and API changes necessary, pitfalls and
challenges, that need to be addressed to make static linking a reality
in BPF realm.
