packaging glibc-static in Fedora is not a good thing.
I've already described this multiple times trying to use different descriptions/analogies about well known glibc NSS ABI issue.
You cannot fix this issue in any libc implementation which is using NSS. IIRC NSS is anchored in SUSv3 specification and it affects every unices libcs.
Again: this is not only Linux issue and it was one of the reasons why it is not possible to find in some unices libc.a!!!
Other reasons are like constant changes in kernel<>userspace changes on all unices are part of the problem as well.
Rarely one of those two things blows into the distributions maintainers faces as upgrades will be affected by what must happen on those areas during every OS evolutions.
It is very easy to completely remove such risk.
