That depends on who you talk to.

The library maintainers cring at the thought of an application
statically linked and forever carrying around bugs in it.

But the perf folks get annoyed that each process has to allocate
RAM for *all* the data space used by a shared lib vs just for
the parts that get linked in statically. (I hope I remember this
correctly).
