Well, we already have a solution for static linking within the PG build
environment, the question is do we wish to export it. Given the lack of
complaints to date, I think not. Do we really want to encourage anyone
to statically link libraries that don't belong to their project? It's
not only the build-time dependency hell, it's the difficulty of
installing library updates. There's a reason why dynamic link is the
default on all modern platforms.
