This is not true. It works for me dynamically linked on AIX 3.2.5, 4.1
and on Linux. You just have to make sure that the dynamic linker finds
its files.  Actually, the programs in my chroot environments are hard links
to the executables outside (/usr/bin and /usr/ftp/bin reside on the same
file system).

Hope this helps.
