(personally I think all of the programs used for 'boot' (ones that used to live in a subdir of /), should be statically linked.
NO, that wont work and will be a collosal waste of space, memory etc. any non-trivial program currently *requires* dynamic linking against libc. Have had several times when statically
linked progs saved my butt, and conversely, am increasingly having problems with dynamic libraries that are needed for boot being located on what was traditionally a separate partition (/usr)... The straw that broke my adaptability was making mount dependent on partitions that haven't been mounted yet. A perfectly good reason to make the mount on /sbin (or /bin) statically built.)...
