What distros are there that normally dynamically link everything but statically link sudo? OpenSUSE, Debian and Ubuntu (the distros I have on hand) do not, at least.

I just checked on NixOs, and ldd reports sudo is not dynamic.

Did you check the real sudo binary, or the setuid wrapper?

On my system sudo is `/run/wrappers/bin/sudo` but that is a setuid wrapper for `/nix/store/z008bzqrl2zc848gjhh04012jhxpl72q-sudo-1.9.15p5/bin/sudo` which is dynamically linked.

Ah, I guess I just checked the wrapper.

That's what I get for doing it on my phone over ssh. I would have probably looked deeper with a real keyboard.
