Basically, if you have anything that is statically linked, it was most likely linked against libc :).. If it's a linux binary, you might be safe though for example. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to use the functions that are vulnerable. But you can pretty safely assume that any statically linked freebsd binary on your system was linked against libc.
