Yes. :)

True. But the system I'm programming for is going to be severely 
limited in memory. Limited to 4 MB of RAM, to be exact. It is not
going to have virtual memory, and disk space will be less than 1 MB.
  Furthermore, I expect it's perfectly feasible to implement the 
program I'm writing using system calls only. Given that, it doesn't
make sense to build it as a shared executable.
