I haven't seen HP-UX live in about 15 years... And back when I did, I 
don't even know if they had dynamic libraries at all.

But Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OS X all have the shells in /bin, as far as 
I can tell, and all have them linked dynamically.

/sbin would be a very strange place to put any shells, or commonly used 
binaries. It's mostly a place where you would place system binaries that 
would be needed for standalone use, which are not commonly used by 
normal users. But Unix-like systems have such varied and confusing 
directory structures...
