I think that's excessive for normal testing, but there should be an easy
way to run all tests for static linking when desired.
--disable-shared really should only reduce the set of files built and
installed, and result in some installed and test executables being
statically linked - it should not have major differences in the build
process from the default case, and if it does, that sounds like something
to fix.
