In vanilla SQLite 3.11.0 even /usr/bin/sqlite3 would statically include code from sqlite3.c. I added my patches to SQLite 3.11.0 (sqlite-3.11.0-full_tarball-build.patch, sqlite-3.11.0-nonfull_tarball-build.patch), which make some executables be linked against libsqlite3.so.0: $ du /usr/bin/sqlite* 84 /usr/bin/sqlite3 76 /usr/bin/sqlite3-analyzer 40 /usr/bin/sqlite3-diff 12 /usr/bin/sqlite3-rbu 28 /usr/bin/sqlite3-show-db 12 /usr/bin/sqlite3-show-journal 12 /usr/bin/sqlite3-show-stat4 16 /usr/bin/sqlite3-show-wal $ scanelf -qF "%F: %n" /usr/bin/sqlite* /usr/bin/sqlite3: libsqlite3.so.0,libreadline.so.6,libc.so.6 /usr/bin/sqlite3-analyzer: libsqlite3.so.0,libtcl8.6.so,libc.so.6 /usr/bin/sqlite3-diff: libsqlite3.so.0,libc.so.6 /usr/bin/sqlite3-rbu: libsqlite3.so.0,libc.so.6 /usr/bin/sqlite3-show-db: libsqlite3.so.0,libpthread.so.0,libc.so.6 /usr/bin/sqlite3-show-journal: libc.so.6 /usr/bin/sqlite3-show-stat4: libsqlite3.so.0,libc.so.6 /usr/bin/sqlite3-show-wal: libc.so.6 https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=259d8bab051acba85157426d1df7c03d0c9d97bf
