Simple reproducer for:

[arekm@carme-pld ~]$ ./a.out
a.out: ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getpagesize.c:32: __getpagesize: Assertion 
`_rtld_global_ro._dl_pagesize != 0' failed.

[arekm@carme-pld ~]$ cat a.c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <pwd.h>
int main() {

        getpwnam("root");
        return 0;
}

[arekm@carme-pld ~]$ gcc a.c -static
