Just thought I would comment that it the static compile would allow Bill to not worry about the changes to the main system libraries in the event a system update changed the way some functions work (an API change for instance). This may be important in his environment to allow no accidental interruptions of service to ossec. In some larger enterprise and maybe military environments, that would not be a bad idea.
