I think I pinpointed the *apparent* problem due to which they are considered "separate": otherwise threads/shared won't be linked during a static build. I also pinpointed the bug in the static build engine, and had shows how to fix it (actually, two different ways ;-). Just fix this bug, and all this complexity may be removed.
