Any updates? My quick test involving running pkg_version on a system with 92
installed ports, which is very make-intensive operation if ports have origin
recorded, as pkg_version(1) runs `make -V' for each port, shown that
statically-compiled make is about 15% faster than dynamically-compiled. Sound like a
reasonable speed gain for 100k binary size increase. What do people think?
