Interesting.
There's an option used by some Gentoo users,
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/prelink-howto.xml, it's from a person at RedHat,
the download points to ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/prelink.
The Gentoo page says it makes applications load faster, and from the
description (and name) it seems to create an executable with all the libraries
"pre-loaded".
I have not used it, but if it works as advertised it would be equivalent to
link with static libraries.
Regards.
