i am not much worried about this, but more about the comment "Do not use 
static linking, with systemd, ever, in fact do not use with any other 
component.". Statically linking works for so many programs and even kmod 
supports the "--enable-static" configure option. So basically i tried to 
report this broken behavior, because i never seen a statement like "dont 
link anything statically against systemd"
