The point was that the answer to your question ("Is this the first...") is readily available from the usual place. Your assignment is to read the earlier posts and either: - Formulate a previously unaddressed reason root should have a statically linked shell, rather than pollute the list with largely irrelevent dialog. - Understand why the current alternative(s) are sufficient. - Summarize findings to list and quietly exit the topic.
