No, it's not a dynamic file, it's actually one of the files that you see with
unzip -l your.exe
but extracted into the cache area with a different name (it's the CRC32 checksum
of the original file's contents). My guess would be .../Tk/PNG/PNG.xs.dll
(verify by comparing the output of md5sum or sha1sum for the two files).
Anyway, look up the DLLs that this file is actually linked with, e.g.
objdump -ax
C:\Users\NTHOMP~1\AppData\Local\Temp\par-6e74686f6d70736f6e\cache-a689a490f84fa6e443fb002bba992a32a268b542\e88b1fb1.xs.dll
| perl -ne 'print if /DLL
Name/'
Most likely it's not only linked with some libpng*, but also some libz*.
Add another --link option for that, rinse and repeat.
Cheers, Roderich
