It would still make a lot of sense to dynamically link the particular libstd used for the compilation—and ship it alongside the package—if one wanted to ship a package containing many executables, the way that e.g. ImageMagick works.


I thought that in recent times ImageMagick acted like busybox, with all the executables symlinked to one master one, and dispatching functionality based on name. Certainly that's the way the fork GraphicsMagick works.
