That would make no difference in this situation, dhclient would be
unusable either way:
I imagine dhclient is in /sbin for the reason I described, so that
it can bring up networking before mounting network filesystems,
possibly including /usr
If you rely on DHCP to bring up the network, and /usr is on a
network filesystem, you wouldn't have access to those libs...
this used to work fine when /sbin/dhclient was staticically linked.
