Only things that are linked statically, which is generally a minority of
applications.

$ for file in `find /usr/local -type f`; do
case `/usr/bin/file $file` in
*dynamically*)
dynamic=$(($dynamic + 1)) ; echo $file
;;
*statically*)
static=$(($static + 1)) ; echo $file
;;
esac
done

$ echo "static: $static dynamic: $dynamic"
static: 9 dynamic: 916

Please don't be needlessly alarmist.

Doug
