The Sun Documentation recommends using the external method:
* External instances are suitable for all development and
provide the best overall template compilation.
* Static instances are suitable for very small programs
or debugging and have restricted uses.

You should use the external instances method, which is the default,
unless there
is a very good reason to do otherwise.

The linker also complained about duplicate symbols. Off the top, I
don't remember if it was a warning or an error. I'll check tomorrow,
because I don't have access right now.
Since the shared library was linked with -mt, libc reported
a mutex error at runtime and crashed when the sample programs
were compiled and linked without -mt.
