THANK YOU!  And thanks to Patrick and David for telling me how to find out
if the program was dynamically linked.

	% ldd /sbin/dhclient
	/sbin/dhclient:
	         -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12

I'll make a final report when I find the correct syntax for the DHCP
distribution's Makefile to have the programs (dhclient included) statically
linked.  I don't suppose it would be as simple as supplying LIBS with
"-L/usr/lib -lc"?  I notice in the gcc man page that there is an option
"-static", but I have no idea where you'd put that in a Makefile target.
