        The Slackware initrd uses its own build of busybox bundled within
  the mkinitrd package, in /usr/share/mkinitrd/initrd-tree.tar.gz.  What
  we are discussing here is the SlackBuild offering, which is unrelated.

        So far, most use-cases for busybox on a complete OS like
  Slackware seem to benefit from static linking more than dynamic;
  recovery, custom from-scratch initrd bundles, minimalist chroots.

  I will keep static linking for now, seems the more useful option.
