I'm not absolutely certain of the total effect of passing -static to ld
on windows. For '-lperl512' what matters is what is contained in
perl512.lib or libperl512.a.
I don't think you can mix and match your linking model on Windows. So if
you had a static perl.exe (or par.exe) you could not then load separate
xs code dynamically - you would have to compile in all the xs modules
you require. That's why, by default, you don't get a static perl built
on MSWin. It is not generally useful.
In a dynamic perl, all the xs dll's are dynamically linked to
perl512.dll. You can't mix and match static / dynamic linking.
You have to add a load_me_3 file or some windows specific function that
does the same thing, I'm afraid.
