Agreed...

I'd have to check, but I specifically remember converting the linker 
args to use the shared object when working on one project.  This could 
have been left behind in an older version though, or it could have been 
an artifact of the project I was working on (where PHP had been forked 
by the customer).

Looking at the under-development Cool Stack, it is dynamically linked:
# pwd
/opt/coolstack/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613
# ldd mysql.so
...
        libmysqlclient.so.15 =>  
/opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15
...
# ldd mysqli.so
...
        libmysqlclient.so.15 =>  
/opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15
...

The end of this posting is interesting: 
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34516 -- if it's correct, they didn't 
include shared libraries by default in MySQL circa January 2006.
