Heh, I do the same.  I've occasionally thought about adding a
"COMPILE_STATICALLY_AND_INSTALL_IN_BIN=YES" option to the tcsh package,
but asbestos is outlawed now in Australia so I install the package and
then re-link and install a static version before I "make clean".

That said, I hardly ever use the "root" account - I just "priv tcsh" to
run my own shell as root if I need to - favorite aliases, command line
completions and key binding already set up...
