The comments in configure for 4.2.4p4 say;
*) # So far, the only shared library we might use is libopts.
# It's a small library - we might as well use a static version of it.
# Check whether --enable-shared or --disable-shared was given.
In any case, what would you expect to gain from using shared libraries
with ntp?
If anything, there is a case for forcing the use of a static version of
libc, as nptd locks down all its libraries, and that can force a lot of
bloat into memory on embedded systems with limited memory.
