Well, ld.so could still break, and anyway you'd lose the ability to use a replacement libc. I don't think this middle ground would be all that useful. For users with a clue, they can choose static or dynamic and understand the repercussions. For other users, I think it should default to dynamic so that they don't ask "Hey, why can't I use the ksh-tk port?" or "Why doesn't ~user work where said user is in LDAP?" > Which shell uses dl*()?? Why is this needed, and why complicate things. ksh93. See the man page under `builtin'.
