In proj-9.6.0/build/CMakeCache.txt created by naked cmake .., I see:

//Whether resource files (limited to proj.db) should be embedded
// into the PROJ library
EMBED_RESOURCE_FILES:BOOL=ON

//Whether the PROJ_DATA_PATH should be embedded
EMBED_PROJ_DATA_PATH:BOOL=ON

//Directory that contains .tif, .json or .pol files to embed into
// libproj
EMBED_RESOURCE_DIRECTORY:PATH=

//Whether embedded resource files (limited to proj.db) should be
// used (should nominally be used together with EMBED_RESOURCE_FILES=ON,
// otherwise this will result in non-functional builds)
USE_ONLY_EMBEDDED_RESOURCE_FILES:BOOL=OFF

and lib contains only libproj.so.25.9.6.0 and its links, so not a static 
build. How did EMBED_RESOURCE_FILES get turned on by default, but with 
USE_ONLY_EMBEDDED_RESOURCE_FILES off?

but no EMBED_RESOURCE_FILES entry at all in 9.5.1, which only has

//Whether the PROJ_DATA_PATH should be embedded
EMBED_PROJ_DATA_PATH:BOOL=ON

Trying again with 9.6.0 and

cmake -DEMBED_RESOURCE_FILES=OFF ..

gives

//Whether resource files (limited to proj.db) should be embedded
// into the PROJ library
EMBED_RESOURCE_FILES:BOOL=OFF

so trying to re-build everything - I don't use ccache, and am using 
separate build directories, it'll take a little while.
