By `last', I meant after sample.c (which should be first).
libgtk appears to depend upon libgdk, so you need to list -lgdk after
-lgtk. libgdk itself presumably requires libX11, so you would need to
use e.g.
-lgtk -lgdk -L/usr/X11/lib -lX11
There may also be other dependencies. In general, any library upon
which an object or library depends must be listed *after* that file in
the link command when performing static linking. `ldd' should display
the dependencies.
However, this is irrelevant. You shouldn't be trying to link
statically unless you have a specific reason to do so.

You're linking against the wrong X libraries (i.e. the libc-5
versions).
You need to add `-L/usr/X11/lib', e.g.
gcc -o samp sample.c -lgtk -lgdk -L/usr/X11/lib -lX11
You may need other libraries; I don't have GTK installed, so I can't
tell.
