It's at least theoretically possible that you could link selected PL objects into a static backend build, but no one is particularly interested in expending effort on it. There don't seem to be any platforms anymore on which --disable-shared is actually important. (Should we just get rid of it?)
There is just one case where I think static linking might make some sense: pg_dump for use during an upgrade. Unfortunately, at least on Linux I found it to be close to impossible, as it uses some things that are apparently only available dynamically - I forget the details.
So basically, I would say yes, let's just drop --disable-shared. cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
