I notice that this installs the Korn shell as a static binary.  While
this might be useful for some environments, it has the disadvantage that
it nullifies the Korn shell's very useful dynamic loading of `builtin'
functions (see the man page's description of `builtin').

I think this should default to building a dynamic executable.  A knob
for building a static version would be nice.  Heck, I wouldn't mind if
it built & installed one of each!  But that would probably be somewhat
hairy to add to the build procedure.

Cheers,
