Well, we're not supporting dynamically linked objects in a static build ;-)

It's at least theoretically possible that you could link selected PL
objects into a static backend build, but no one is particularly
interested in expending effort on it.  There don't seem to be any
platforms anymore on which --disable-shared is actually important.
(Should we just get rid of it?)
