It seems that my knowledge about this option is outdated. When I first encountered this problem two years ago, the R/rpm distribution came with no libR.so. I was told that --enable-R-shlib would lead to 10% - 20% performance loss, and I had to re-compile R if I need to embed it. So I guess performance is no longer an issue and shared libraries are provided as default on all platforms now? I certainly welcome this change and I apologize for my unfounded accusation to R. BTW, shouldn't --enable-R-shlib be yes by default during ./configure?.
