An attempt to limit the exposure and number of available avenues for

I'm not sure I understand. So the named binary is itself doing the zone
transfer, but I'm not sure how that's really different than it was
before...

This didn't work. It seems to arbitrarily ignore the -static but keeps the
-O2 but ignores the -static on all binaries.

Thanks again,
