With Docker, simply run a build script.

$ ls -sh libhdfs.so 
15M libhdfs.so

This libhdfs.so has minimal dependency.

$ ldd libhdfs.so 
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffeabfd000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f013d1c9000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f013da86000)
