Of course. I wasn't thinking. But here's another naive question, on what
platforms is it significantly better to statically link and how is it
significantly better?

I've never been clear on that issue. It seems like an unreasonably
strict constraint. Adding a function called "doit" to one library could
break another dynamically library that happens to have the same name
defined? I'd call that a bug in the dynamic loading infrastructure (and
certainly not a problem on Windows!)!
