This might sound funny, but we (used to) try to build on systems
that don't support libraries. I'm not sure how much of the systems we
try to support don't have support for libraries at the moment, but at least
that was the original reason. 

For Samba4, we're supporting pretty much everything (the build system 
figures out what is supported and (will) try the most optimal solution
available, which in most cases is a couple of shared libs.

Cheers,
