--enable-dynamic
Link the command line tools against shared liblzma. The
default (and recommended way) is to link the command line
tools against static liblzma.
--enable-dynamic=TYPE
Specify how command line tools should be linked against
liblzma. Possible TYPES:
yes All command line tools are linked against
shared liblzma (if shared liblzma was built).
This is equivalent to --enable-dynamic (i.e.
no =TYPE).
mixed Some tools are linked against static liblzma
and some against shared liblzma. This is the
default and recommended way.
no All command line tools are linked against
static liblzma (if static liblzma was built).
This is equivalent to --disable-dynamic.
This option is mostly useful for packagers, if distro
policy requires linking against shared libaries. See the

This can be changed by passing --enable-dynamic to configure, or by
not building static libraries at all by passing --disable-static to
configure. It is mildly recommended that you use the default and link
the command line tools against static liblzma, but the configure
options make it easy to do otherwise if the distro policy so requires.

On 32-bit x86, linking against static liblzma can give a minor
speed improvement. Static libraries on x86 are usually compiled as
