For one, I think opera-static doesn't mean it's a static binary but qt is linked in statically. On the other hand, until just a couple years ago static linking in linux was no problem at all. But around the time linux 2.6 came out, the glibc guys apparently decided nobody used static linking anyway and merrily bollocksed it up. Great, now I'm depressed.
