I'm trying to compile a simple program into a static executable:

$ cat hello.c
#include 
int main() {
    puts("Hello, world!");
}

However, I'm met with the following error:

$ gcc -static hello.c -o hello
/nix/store/p792j5f44l3f0xi7ai5jllwnxqwnka88-binutils-2.31.1/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
