I just compiled mdadm from squeeze and linked it static (on a squeeze system):
cd /usr/local/src/
apt-get source mdadm
apt-get build-dep mdadm
cd mdadm-*
diff Makefile.original Makefile
87,88c87,88
< # LDFLAGS = -static
< # STRIP = -s
---
> LDFLAGS = -static

debian/rules binary

With the resulting binary I have successful removed and added a raid1 bitmap 
within a wheezy system without kernel crash or reboot.
