Hi,

I am interested in building fully static musl binaries for my Rust applications, as this makes Docker image distribution much easier, compared to having to manage a multiplicity of per-distro, per-glibc version images.

However, many crates rely on proc-macro, breaking this pattern. As rustc does not currently support proc-macro in static application contexts.

When can we expect proc-macro's to become available for statically compiled applications?

Meanwhile, using Go, which supports static compilation out of the box.
