I suppose you could close the PR.  Would it still be a good idea to 
have a statically linked mt(1) for users of tar and cpio?  If this mode 
of backup/recovery is not supported or recommended, lets close the PR.  
Mind you, it's not all that difficult to build a static mt, so anyone 
deviating from the standard could be prepared to do so.

Anyhow, just a couple of extra thouhts.
