Hmm, not sure if we are talking about in single user mode with only

I see it need libs in /lib, which I'm sure is not on it's own
partition, but I was hoping to get vi statically compiled.

[root@bsd /usr/ports/editors]-> ldd `which vi`

/usr/bin/vi:
        libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x280b9000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x280f8000)
