This isn't a "workaround", but instead *THE* one and only documented
way to use pthreads-win32 as a static library. See here:
ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/sources/pthreads-w32-2-8-0-release/README
section named "Building the library as a statically linkable library".
And because most developers aren't even aware of this issue, the more
prudent solution is to compile pthreads-win32 as a DLL. "Principled"
approach (only static libs!) is all well and good, but not in such
cases when it only causes pain and suffering for project's users.
