Hi Pratik,
Yes; the build scripts were linked at the bottom of my original
mail message in this chain: https://git.zv.io/xstatic/builder/
$ git clone https://git.zv.io/xstatic/builder.git
$ cd builder
$ ./build postgresql-<release> # 11.1, etc.
Under the hood, the only major "technique" is wrapping the 'gcc'
command with flags such as '-static' to ensure that everything
is built correctly, and using reliable toolchains [1].
There is one minor issue in that the postgres build scripts no
longer appear to support static building [2,3] so it'll attempt
to build files such as 'POSIX.so' etc. and these cause errors.
The workaround is simply to ignore these errors during build
until I or someone else can get around to supplying patches (in
the next week or so; I have other commitments).
