libseccomp runtime dependency

[sipasing]

Noob question, I see "Static Linking notices" on the releases page stating that libseccomp is a build-time dependency of runc, meaning that libseccomp-devel package should be installed on the system during runc build.

But what about runtime dependency ? I notice in Openela repo, runc spec having both a buildtime (BuildRequires tag) and a runtime (Requires tag) dependency on libseccomp. Can someone point me to the docs or explain why a runtime dependency for libseccomp is present.

Also Ques2) diving into build time dependency, how does this static linking take place ? Is there a library in libseccomp-devel package that runc is supposed to link against ?
