Thanks Paolo.
That's a nice feature to have.
I.E. statically link the lib when not present on the system.
It would be useful when one wanted to build a standalone sed
for example on older or non linux systems, with the caveat
that the binary would be a fair bit larger.
I don't think we'll use this in coreutils for example
due to the extra memory each util would use.

cheers,
Pádraig.
