Ouch. We long ago passed the point of no return as far as requiring
shared library support: there's too much backend functionality that's
in separate shared libraries rather than being linked directly into
the core executable. I doubt anyone will be interested in taking on
the task of supporting a parallel all-static build.
I think this means we can write off VAX on NetBSD/OpenBSD as a viable
platform for Postgres :-(. I'm sad to hear it, but certainly have
not got the cycles personally to prevent it.
