You are correct, I ignored the "static" point. My nvi size was dynamically
linked. I want to learn static builds, even thought my distro of choice LFS is
not very forthcoming in this respect.
No doubt it's possible to produce a working static nvi binary for Linux.
The point I was making is that vim requires zero patching. It just works. Even a version from 1997.
