Signal chaining works on static. So I don't think we should say it's not possible. :-)

I had some thoughts on testing earlier. For testing we want to create a test that builds a hermetic image (when supported in mainline) that statically links with the libjsig.a, to exercise the signal chaining in that combination.  We should create a bug for that so we don't forget.

The main point is that we don't want to test with signal chaining enabled by default on static JDK.
