No. The alternate build mechanism (from the "mk" directory) creates
its own "gmake5" script, which basically just runs "make" with the
right options.

Static vs shared depends upon the mid.mk file. If you use the default
file, you get static libraries; if you replace it with mid.mk.shlib,
you get shared libraries.
