important.

If you care about memory overhead the last thing you want is to be
loading loads of bitty little shared libraries. You want to build a
single binary with just the features you need.

Hmm, that's a good point. Is that something you think can reasonably be
accomplished with qemu today?

It should be fairly easy.

Why not both?
It could be like the linux kernel, =m means build an SO and =y means link it statically.
The key is for it to be modular and configurable.
