Hello. I am not sure about the terminology but let'say:
- Staticaly Linking = use libX11.so = store some data in ELF, more safe... - Dynamicaly Linking = use libX11.so.6 = more freedom, can use dynlib.... That said, both linkings have advantages. And I am not sure for libX11 that Staticaly Linking is the one I would choose. So, IMHO and, please, without opening any war, I would vote in a utopic world for a compiler that gives me the choice. Or to link libX11 in my program Staticaly or Dynamicaly. But, yes, I agree, it is twice the work to develop the package (and twice problems to debug it). But do not worry, this will never append for fpc.
