The reason for -all-static are the following:

- Slightly faster binary (2-3 % last time I measured)
- The binary can be moved between different system (as long as they
  have the same architecture)
- The binary will not stop working during a system upgrade.

The above is the reason I prefer to make critical application staticly
linked.
