+### Static
+
+The `static` flavour does not strictly follow the groupings in the table
+above because it links all the executables statically, not just GHC
+itself, and because it passes `-optc -static` when delegating to a C
+compiler. It also adds the `-dynamic-system-linker` cabal flag to the
+`ghc` package build and only adds static flags when building in a
+non-dynamic _way_. Some of the considerations for a static build aren't
+a great fit for the flavour system, so it's a little bit hacky.
+
## Ways
Libraries and GHC can be built in different _ways_, e.g. with or without profiling
