My personal main issue with the static linking is that in case I am developing 
a package for OpenPKG I have a _very_ hard time to make _certain_ that the  
correct libraries get picked up during compile time. 

With shared libraries I can easily verify this with ldd but it is very hard to 
do this with static linking.

E.g. a package might build cleanly on my development machine but picks up the 
wrong version of berkley db on another host. 

Such things lead to ugly bug reports...
