True, but "partially static" builds are also useful, where all "user" libraries (ROOT, etc) are linked statically, but "very system" libraries are dynamic (glibc, libstdc++). How to link things like X11, freetype and such should be ideally selectable at link time to match the instant application.

Thank you. It is very important to support static linking of ROOT as much as possible (subject to reasonable limitations, etc).
