Completely static binaries are problems on other OSes as well, e.g. Mac 
OS X.  (For both Solaris and OS X, at least part of the goal is probably 
to make the system call interface *NOT* part of the ABI, so the binary 
system call interface can be changed as long as the "C library" - libc 
on Solaris, libSystem on OS X - is changed to match and the routines in 
that library don't change *their* ABI.)

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a standard way to provoke UN*X 
linkers to link statically with some libraries and dynamically with 
others.  I'm not sure whether there's a way to get libtool to handle that.
