And there are even better reasons for using a little intelligence regarding
when to dynamically link something, and when not to. Unfortunately, being
a disparate collection of pieces by different people rather than a cohesive
whole, your average Linux distribution rarely pays attention to them.
"Oh, gee, I can't mount /usr. I guess all your stuff in /bin doesn't work
any more. Sorry, guess you're not going to be able to fix it, either,
because nothing else works."
And so on.
