As discussed in issue #4788 [0], statically linking of the
`proxmox-backup-client` still suffers from possible incompatible
dependencies on the NSS module libraries, further described in
[1].

This proof of concept drafts a possible workaround by relying on
`hickory-dns` [2], using the hickory-resolver for name resolution
instead of the default `getaddrinfo` based `GaiResolver` used by
the hyper http client, as suggested by Thomas.

These patches still need some polishing, but allow already to compile
a static binary without the glibc issues as descibied in the issue,
therefore sending them for possible more widespread testing.

Initial testing on ArchLinux with glic 2.40+r16+gaa533d58ff-2,
previously leading to floating point exceptions, now allows to backup
without issues using the patched client.

A major downside is the required dependencies for hickory-dns`, as with
the feature `system-config` enabled (used to read nameservers from
`/etc/resolv.conf`), also the windows dependencies on `ipconfig` and
it's subdependencies are required.
