When did you last see a static linked image on VMS ?

Run time libraries such as the C RTL are associated with the image at
link time. While you may be able to do tricks with logicals to use a
different file, the association is still static since symbols are
resolved at link time and the image will just branch to specific
addresses where the routine is expected to reside within the shareable
image.

This is qwuite diffferent from lib$find_image_symbol where nothing
happens at link time and the finding and resolving of symbols within
some image file is done truly at run time.
