but that links in *all* libraries statically (not just pthreads).

iirc, a number of externals rely on Pd providing things like pthreadVC.dll.
so if we have to provide a few dlls anyhow, i don't see much merit in
static linking.

e.g. this fixed the runtime problem for me:
  cp /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libwinpthread-1.dll bin/
