GTK+ relies on dynamically loaded modules for Pango and Pixbuf (image)
loading. It is not possible to every make a 100% static build of a GTK
app unless you remove Pango and Pixbuf support.

The Unix Way for this particular problem is to make your app a tiny
shell script:
#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/the/path/to/somewhere/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec /the/path/to/somewhere/bin/yourApp
of course, the hard part is that without an installation step,
determining /the/path/to/somewhere can be a bit tricky, but its
certainly doable.
