Suggestion: set the default linking method to be dynamic instead. Static linking may be a wee bit faster during compile time, but it is not faster for execve() etc. during start-up of a statically linked executable when its size is over 120mb instead of 7mb when dynamically linked, which could also end up being the crucial difference that might allow people to host small worlds even on a very cheap VPS with only 256mb of RAM, as many of the involved libraries are already used by other applications.
