I have a patch that makes /bin and /sbin optionally non-static.  For
small systems that have / and /usr on the same file system, you can
save about 5M-6M of disk space by making /bin and /sbin shared.

Since this is undesirable for systems that have / and /usr on
different file systems, I thought I'd make an option.

What should I call the option?

I'm thinking SLASHED_SHARED, but that's a horrible name.

I've already rejected DANGEROUS_SBIN_BIN_SHARED_OPTION as being too
long
