Uh, where did you get static linking from?  I don't remember ever
statically linking an AFS kernel module on Solaris.

What are we even talking about at this point?  You're describing a method
of handling kernel interfaces that I don't recognize at all.

The only systems I know of that need static linking need it for *any*
kernel module, regardless of what it's doing.
