In any way, I would like to know the opinion of the developers. If you continue with the current compilation of syslog-ng (mixed) or move to a fully shared.

I would say: fully shared. Doing so would introduce eventlog (108K), glib2 (10336K), pcre (2164K), gcc-libs (9068K), libcap (185K). Eventlog, gcc-libs and libcap aren't a problem at all, they're small and in case of gcc-libs already required on the system. For glib2, it's "huge", but given the fact that many people have this thing installed for other purposes anyways, I don't see the problem here. People with minimal systems could get rid of /usr/include anyways, which is where the most space is taken in case of glib2.
