The -static flag was there for a reason, so you cannot just remove it,
you will probably need to do something else in addition.

AFAIR, the -static switch was used due to the libwinpthreads
dependency, and is related to the no-deps package.  We should resolve
this issue now, because using -static is IMO a time bomb, and it
sounds like it just went off on us.
