What's wrong with privilege separation?

Why do you say this?  One of the problems we have with Bacula supporting
Solaris, and particularly for creating a bare-metal emergency recovery
disk for Solaris, is the fact that Solaris makes it so difficult to
build static binaries.  There are cases when static binaries not only
are not "pointless", but may in fact be indispensable.
