Do you seriously believe that such details/"linking analysis"
[whether this or that linker redistributes the individual
object files into different regions, etc.] matters? C'mon, RMS
is right: "it makes no difference whether linking is static or
dynamic." Neither constitutes creation of derivative work, I
think/hope. I may be wrong, of course.
