In general no not really. On our Cray we have no dynamic lib support and this kind of thing is very painful. On other machines even if you turn off shared libs, in actual fact, the final exe does pull in all the system libs as shared ones, so it's not a true test.

where does one do that?

OK. I am experimenting with Michael's CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE suggestion and have found some references using google, but I'm not quite sure how to progress, so any hint welcome as they will certainly save me time.
