Weird - thinking back, I think I've found the opposite to be much more
common - apps delivered by vendors, etc. with dynamic libraries or
even ones built in house, but with one machine at a different set of
patches than others, resulting in the app requiring shared libraries of
specific versions that don't exist elsewhere. Whereas with statically
linked apps, things seem to work.

Of course, in BOTH cases, one has to be careful not to compile for instance
something on Solaris 9 and then try to run it on Solaris 8.
