I'll admit to being mostly a lurker here, but isn't the point of /sbin to be statically linked. That's what the 's' stands for?
Second question. This seems to imply that /sbin and /bin both have to have the same behavior? I have no problem with /bin being dynamically linked, but what if I want /bin to be dynamic and /sbin static?

I'm not sure what that would accomplish. If a system was broken such that the dynamically linked binaries in /bin didn't work, the utilities in /sbin wouldn't be enough to fix the system. For instance, you wouldn't have a shell or "ls".
Statically linked binaries to fix a hosed system are now in /rescue. Check "man hier".
