Documented steps

  1. Check the binary is statically linked with the default musl toolchain: run 'file firecracker' and look for 'statically linked'.
  2. Ensure the jailer and the firecracker binary are the SAME version; the jailer copies the exec-file into the chroot and execs it with version-matched flags.
  3. Avoid experimental GNU builds — the jailer does not support them.
  4. Verify the version: firecracker --version and jailer --version should match before wiring into production.
