Do we statically compile in extension modules?

I'm assuming not, but there might be reasons to that I'm not thinking of?

For PBS, I statically linked so PyOxidizer could achieve single file executables.

Without that use case, dynamic linking makes more sense.

Especially on Linux, where the single symbol namespace of ELF can lead to problems when all extensions and their library dependencies are loaded at process start time.

So my vote is dynamic loading.
