Although the question is related to static linking, the main problem
doesn't seem to have anything to do with that.

So you might want to ask that question on a GTK mailing list. Those
people know GTK better than we do.

BTW, our support for statically linking GTK is still experimental, but
works for many small applications. Any help is welcome to improve that.

Download the official GTK DLLs and link to them directly. I don't
think you need Mingw-cross-env for that task.

Of course you could adjust our "src/gtk.mk" to produce a GTK shared
library. But note that GTK depends on other libraries, so you would
end up with a mix static and shared libraries, which usually causes
a lot of trouble.
