This is what lies ahead of us anyway.  Solaris apparently official
denounced static linking for the system libs completely and you can find
many comments to the same effect from me, too.  We have to get away from
the limitations static linking is imposing.

For those who really really need static linking, use the least common
denominator.   It's those people who have to pay the price, not the
(sane) rest of us.
