Because I don't know whether it is possible to compile Sage statically.
Only outside of Sage at this point. Some of the ATLAS libraries are only
stati, but Sage links to them ok. Since Sage will not build fully on AIX,
it's hard to know for sure what problems might present themselves at a
later date, but I doubt a static Pari library would be one of them.
I later found out that it appears that on AIX the .a files are archives
which can contain both static and shared objects. But using .so as an
extension for shared objects is not a problem in itself.
