Depends how you define Unix then. I don't have any actual Unix
certified OS's around, but Fedora certainly doesn't link everything in
/sbin statically.

My favourite:

$ ldd /sbin/dump.static 
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00110000)
        libext2fs.so.2 => /lib/libext2fs.so.2 (0x00ca6000)
        libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x00d0d000)
        libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x0058e000)
        libbz2.so.1 => /lib/libbz2.so.1 (0x00cfa000)
        libblkid.so.1 => /lib/libblkid.so.1 (0x00c66000)
        libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x00c8a000)
        libdevmapper.so.1.02 => /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.02 (0x0060e000)
        libselinux.so.1 => /lib/libselinux.so.1 (0x00336000)
        libsepol.so.1 => /lib/libsepol.so.1 (0x00765000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x003e6000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0056c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x003c7000)

(Yes that's cheating, /sbin/dump.static is a symlink. But still
funny.)
