Thee are fantastic numbers of reasons to link statically such
as reducing the memory footprint of dedicated apps that are
destined to be locked in memory or provide apps that will
run stand-alone on target systems that may or may not have the
shared libs you need, however in this case, the only reason
I was linking static was to see if static linking worked :-).
