I went through upgrading all packages suggested in the kernel v2.1.24
Changes file the other, and upgraded the following..
	ld.so,binutils,libc,gcc to the recommended.

Now, whenever compiling anything, gcc defaults to compiling statically. And
if I add -shared to the linking, weird stuff happens. For example, when
compiling 'vim':

[/usr/src/vim-4.2/src][6] > ldd vim gcc -o vim *.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib  -lSM \
-lICE -lX11  -ltermcap  
[/usr/src/vim-4.2/src][7] > ldd vim
        statically linked (ELF)
[/usr/src/vim-4.2/src][8] > gcc -shared -o vim *.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib \
-lSM -lICE -lX11 -ltermcap
[/usr/src/vim-4.2/src][9] > ldd vim
        ./vim => ./vim
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5

Is there anything I have missed such that libc is shared, whilst all the
other libraries seem to be linked in statically? All applicable libraries
are there when I do a 'ldconfig -v'. And I don't really have _that_ much
disk space to be able to have a completely static system :)

You need to make some symlinks.  The new linker does not look for
libABC.so.x.y.z, but only for libABC.so when linking shared libs.
Just ln -s libABC.so.x.y.z libABC.so.

This one bit me too.  It's in the docs somewhere, but is not real 
obvious.
