Static extension is one that is compiled into an archive and linked into perl
as opposed to dynamic extension loaded on demand. However, the system libs used 
by any extension are linked dynamically by default.
(ie. libpthread.so fot threads)

The perl thread tests dump core which I cannot load into gdb.
Ie the basic tests fail the second test. Running the tests destabilizes
whole system (probably because of filesystem activity or stressing
the crash server).
More info after reboot (hopefully I can send this at least :).
