For some reason I installed my own static C libraries in /usr/local. OpenCV assumes if you put C libraries there you did it on purpose and uses them instead of the ones installed at /lib. Removing the ones in /usr/local solved the problem.

For some reason my linker keeps trying to link against the static version of libc instead of the dynamic version when building from source. I also tried setting the cmake flag BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARIES to OFF but this led to other problems. Full error below.
