Actually valgrind is (unusually) pretty much entirely statically linked.

I suspect what you are talking about the preload libraries, which have 
to be shared in order to do their job. Without them you will find that 
valgrind's functionality is somewhat restricted, just as it is when you 
run valgrind on a static executable.
