FWIW, we have (almost) completely abandonded static linking, as it does not serve the purpose to get reliable binaries for ANY workstation. It is much safer to let references resolve dynamically until the point where it just doesn't work.
Marius, you're right in general, but for toolchains, the problems you note with static executables do not seem to be an issue. (gcc doesn't do any networking, for instance, so it doesn't matter that the DNS calls won't work). Or have you run into problems with statically linked copies of *gcc* (as opposed to, say, Mozilla :-)?
Regards, Marius
