That's right.
It has been written in README file of makedumpfile:

  002: makedumpfile is compiled with -static option, because the command should
       run while the second kernel, which may not mount root filesystem and may
       not contain dynamic library files, is running.
       If the dynamic library files, which are needed by makedumpfile, exist
       while the second kernel is running, we can remove -static option from
       Makefile. This is a workaround for some linux distributions which does
       not contain static library files needed by makedumpfile.
