Hmm, thought static linking was a thing of the past, because of it's
possible security problems.
If one of your statically linked libs has a security flaw, it can't be
exchanged easily. You must relink and resend your binary to get the fixed
version to the receiver of your program.
If, OTOH, you just tell the receiver to install libraries X, Y and Z to be
able to run your program, nether you nor him need to worry about missed
security fixes. All you need to to is to replace the vulnerable version of a
shared lib with the fixed one.
Bye...
