The problem is, you are asking the linker to read FIRST the gdk_imlib, and
only after that the whole bunch of libs defined in gtk-config --libs,
as a result, gdk_imlib is not finding the other libs, because you did not
indicate them yet! 

your problem should be solved just putting gdk_imlib AFTER the other libs, 
as in (as I said before, the linker starts reading from the end):

% gcc main.o widgets.o callbacks.o utils.o -o ds_tut 
-Wl,-Bstatic -lgdk_imlib `gtk-config --libs`

In dynamic compilations, this is usually not a problem, but
when compilling statically you need to figure out the right
order for your libs, at least from my own gcc experience (I guess 
the dynamic linker is more clever, I don't know ...)
