Correct. A static binary is perfectly capable of dynamic-loading shared objects; therefore "-static" should not shadow "-E". I will forward this to linker folks. In the meantime, if you guys can provide self-sufficient conversion shared-objects by any chance in some future release perhaps, that will be much appreciated.
