The thread guys don't want to support static thread libraries ;-)
But I proposed this a few months ago (year?) in -current and there
was some reluctance.  Imp was one that was against it (from what I
can remember).  The reason given was speed of static binaries is
faster than dynamic.  I didn't force the issue any more than that.
That's how I recall it anyways.  I'll have to search the list
archives to see if I can find the thread.
