Well, my man page says:
-N specifies readable and writable text and data sec-
tions. If the output format supports Unix style
magic numbers, the output is marked as OMAGIC.
When you use the `-N' option, the linker does not
page-align the data segment.
none of which seems to have anything to do with static vs shared
libraries.
Do you have libc5-dev and ncurses3.0-dev installed? I believe that the
linker decides whether or not to link static or shared by which kind of
library it finds in it's search path. The dev packages provide the shared
libraries in the proper place to satisfy the linker.
Is your architecture different in this reguard?
