Given a reduced usage of CRT, why statically linking should not work?

For instance, if all else fail wrt memory allocation, I can't see why it 
is a problem using the statically-linked CRT's malloc (or another multi-
platform malloc implementation like Google's tcmalloc -- which would of 
course be statically linked as well).
