I though elf was the native binary format these days? But it needs a

elf? Or do
standalone binary have to be in aout format? I'm a bit confused as

requires this dynamic library..
I'm not sure if this helps at all, but you can build a static
version of
bash from the Ports tree:
cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
make WITH_STATIC_BASH=1
You'll need to cp bash to /bin.
Thanks, that was the information I was looking for! I didn't know
about that
option to the port..
The problem seemed to be with the dependancies, libintl is
dynamically linked
to libiconv and some how that was causing it to build with a dynamic
link..
