 Binary snapshots are supposed to be easy to use and install.  To ease  
 their use, they are always statically linked.  Developers have built  
 these distributions by doing  
   
 <pre>  
         setenv LDSTATIC -static  
         cd /usr/src  
         make obj  
         make build  
         setenv DESTDIR /dir  
         make snapshot  
 </pre>  
   
 <p>  
 If you find a snapshot that is dynamically linked, please inform  
 deraadt@openbsd.org.

 <h3><strong>But I want dynamic binaries!:</strong></h3>  
   
 <p>  
 Real Releases, when they are made, will not be statically linked.  
 </p>  
   
 <p>  
 If you desire dynamic binaries on your machine, do the following:  
 </p>  
   
 <pre>  
         cd /usr/src  
         make obj  
         make build  
 </pre>

 This will rebuild your machine's binaries in the normal way.  of  
 course, before doing this later step of rebuilding all the binaries on  
 your machine, realize that source code quality can vary from day to  
 day -- on some days the make build might fail and you might run into  
 nasty problems.
