I talked with Henning about the reason of that static compiling hack.
As I understand him, there are some scripts from djb which sets the
datasize limit to a low value and that causes some crashes.  So I add
an install notice to the port:

   Please notice, there may be some scripts that manipulate the datasize
   limit of tcpclient/tcpserver which may cause a process termination.
   For more information look at login.conf(5).

In my opinion that should be enough information to handle some trouble
by the user.

bye,
Jan
