I am sure we will encounter an issue or two. Theoretically though, we should only have to create such a system like this once. Then we will only have to occasionally add update the dependencies now and then. I think if we are going to do dynamic, we should fork our own mxe on github. We can create a sed script to replace --disable-shared --enable-shared and --enable-static to --disable-static on all the src/*.mk.
