One point is, if you ever get to mem-debug the nsd executable
with Purify, you would experience significant problems if it
is build with --enable-shared.
When the 4.0 was introduced, and the libnsd.so was built as a
separate loadable file, as with libtcl.so, it was virtually
impossible to get Purify running properly. Hence, I added the
option to build the nsd executable static, after talking to
some (AOL, among others) people.
