hi srikar,
when u do Dynamic linking there are advantage..

static linking means there shold be a dependence..

dynamic linking has advantage than static..ex: if ur running multiple application all the application are using some comman src files..if u modified any of src files thoselibs are dynamically linked then u no need to compile ur application every time..those changes it will dynamically linked...u can't do linking with gcc -o...
