Static binaries don't pull in the whole of libc; they just pull in what they need, be it from libc or libcrypt, so size should not change. The _shared_ libc will get bigger, but we'll lose the shared libcrypto. > Why does crypt need to be in libc? Not even a significant fraction of > applications need crypt? Goes for very many libc components. Quite a lot of userland needs libcrypt (not much as a proportion, but a non-insignificant number).
