The only problem I see is that a lot of scripts will start running
significantly slower if the small 'workhorse' programs (ln, rm, chmod,
test, mkdir, expr etc) become dynamic.

Some tests I've just done indicate that the time to exec a dynamically
linked program is about 7 times that of a static one (on i386).

(the 3.75% improvement I've made is insignificant...)
