Thanks for the information - I understand what you're saying, I
certainly wouldn't expect standard builds to be statically linked, I
appreciate that my needs are very unusual. A further question, though,
if I may - when you say "you can do it yourself if you need", the only
way I know to build statically linked executables is to build the full
toolchain, including all dependent libraries, with --enable-static
--disable-shared. As you can imagine, that's a pretty painful exercise
 :-( Is it possible to use the mingw64 standard builds (which provide
both static and shared forms) to build a statically linked executable?
I've never managed to find any information on how to do this on the
web - the autoconf documentation isn't very helpful on the matter. In
particular, it would be fantastic if there were a way to configure a
makepkg build to use the static versions of dependent libraries.

Sorry if this is a basic question - I don't have any experience with
the standard Unix build tools, all my experience is with Windows, so I
don't really know how to properly do anything beyond the basics...

Thanks for any help,
Paul
