A comment on On building portable Linux binaries. Parent comment
-Sun presented a paper saying it wasn't worth it
-Plan9 doesn't use dynamic linking and some of its utilities have smaller binaries than similarly named utilities on FreeBSD
-People like dynamic linking for the same reason they believe in god
-Statically linked binaries aren't as portable as one would like.
It reads like more of a rant to be honest.
