+- Fix build to correctly build a static binary (which will allow it to work in
+  all containers). This was caused by forgetting to include
+  'glibc-devel-static'. I've added a check to ensure it doesn't happen by
+  accident again.
+- Add catatonit-rpmlintrc to include filters for "static binary" warnings,
+  since this is intentional.
