 I'm not convinced this is a problem.

I can easily contrive a shlib that has no external references. ldd on such
a shlib tells me it's "statically linked" on both Fedora and Ubuntu.

And that's what libglusterd is, a shlib with no external references.

I can add -lc, but if there are no references to libc functions, then why?
Please cite a reference that shows this is required?

Fedora's autoconf/automake/libtool has always behaved slightly differently
than Debian/Ubuntu. Fedora seems to cache and use things that Debian
doesn't. It's been a PITA sometimes figuring out why a Makefile.am that
works on Fedora doesn't work, or works differently on Debian.

I might even argue that Debian/Ubuntu is working correctly in this case and
it's Fedora that is broken.

Other libraries, e.g. libc, that don't have any external references, appear
to link with /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. Adding this makes the ldd output
look more "normal."

Again, please file an issue in the github issue tracker.
