On Ubuntu:
Follow these instructions carefully

I recommend to install the SDK for static linking
https://www.swift.org/documentation/articles/static-linux-getting-started.html
It is crucial to enable the Extern experimental feature
swift build -Xswiftc -enable-experimental-feature -Xswiftc Extern
swift build
$ file ./.build/debug/xframes-swift
./.build/debug/xframes-swift: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, with debug_info, not stripped
The file size is > 30KB but it requires Swift to be installed on the target machine.
swift build --swift-sdk x86_64-swift-linux-musl
$ file .build/x86_64-swift-linux-musl/debug/xframes-swift
.build/x86_64-swift-linux-musl/debug/xframes-swift: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, with debug_info, not stripped
The file size is > 40MB but it supposedly 'just works', no need to install any dependencies.
