Mono doesn't really uses shared libraries at all, it ships its own
glibc (eglib) and its own libmono library, It should be compiled
statically for this reason, you can find further details here:
http://www.mono-project.com/docs/compiling-mono/unsupported-advanced-compile-options/#static-vs-dynamic-mono
.

Before the new shared/static handling, --enable-static was always
passed as a configure option.

Sincerely, Angelo
