When this project is complete (say, in 2015), there won't be a need to link statically. Until then, various things might fail. For example, setting the locale through setlocale might not have the desired effect on a different module. In addition, there is the size increase - you would easily get multiple copies of stdio in the distribution. It's fairly tricky not to link stdio in static linking, even if you don't call any stdio functions.
