i'm going to object to that -- while i prefer dhcpcd i've twice
needed for temporary issues, and not having working networking
while travelling (this was one case) is really not something we
want to deal with ;)

this is also irrelevant to the problem at hand.

meaning -- it uses libraries normally installed in /usr/lib but
links them statically?

those libraries should move to /lib.  they're already part of
the root fs (mostly).  then all this stupid makefile and linking
crap can go away, and your problem solved.
