Really?  The ones I have, which were downloaded a few months ago, are
all dynamically linked.  I would be very happy if it weren't
dynamically linked, or at least if the only dynamic library were libc.

Don't do it!  Actually, in general it's a good idea, but it will
probably make Netscape crash.  As far as I can tell, the glibc
Netscape is particularly finicky about having preciesly the libraries
that Redhat supplies (I think the culprit in my case is libstdc++).  I
haven't been able to get it to work using my self-compiled libraries.
On of these days I'll get alien and download Redhat's RPM's for
libstdc++ and see if that lets me run Netscape.  Right now I use a
libc5 version and have my old libc5 X11 libraries hidden off somewhere.
At least if you try to compile the libraries, make sure to keep the
old ones around.
