On a source-based distribution, the thing that manages package |
| 8 |
installations can break itself if it incorrectly installs a library that a |
| 9 |
subsequent run of itself would dynamically link against. |

There are plenty of valid use-cases for statically linked binaries. One |
| 12 |
such use case is that the C++ standard doesn't acknowledge the existence of |
| 13 |
dynamic linking in the first place. (It doesn't say it's invalid, just the |
| 14 |
standard doesn't address the concept one way or another, implicitly |
| 15 |
assuming static linking). |
