Summary0009830: Bundle nmap as a dynamically linked binary to allow LD_PRELOAD
Description

The current nmap version (7.99+dfsg-1kali1) is a statically linked binary, which makes it impossible to use nmap with tools that intercept traffic using LD_PRELOAD, such as ProxyChains.

$ apt list --installed nmap
nmap/kali-rolling,now 7.99+dfsg-1kali1 amd64 [installed]

$ ldd $(which nmap)
        not a dynamic executable

$ proxychains nmap -nv -Pn 172.16.5.1/24  # does not work, traffic can not be routed through the proxy

It would be great, if possible, to have nmap bundled as a dynamically linked binary on the repository.
Thanks for your time.
