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...
