Of course, once upon a time static linking was the only way.

It is dynamic linking that is hard to implement, not the other way around.

I KNOW that. I just wanted to know if the native compilers for the languages you mentioned supported static compilation either through a switch or by default, or if it's something that somebody else would have to write.

Initially by default, many of them are older than OSes with dynamic linking support.

The ones with compilers that also support dynamic linking, either via a switch or via explicit dynamic modules.
