On what do you base that claim?

$ ls ~postgres/testversion/lib
libecpg.a        libpgeasy.sl.2@  libpq++.sl*      plpgsql.sl*
libecpg.sl*      libpgtcl.a       libpq++.sl.4@    pltcl.sl*
libecpg.sl.3@    libpgtcl.sl*     libpq.a
libpgeasy.a      libpgtcl.sl.2@   libpq.sl*
libpgeasy.sl*    libpq++.a        libpq.sl.2@

Looks like plenty of .a's to me on this HPUX box ... also, a cursory
look at Makefile.shlib shows the static library is built and installed
on all non-Windows platforms.
