Note that the order of options to gcc is significant.
Putting -static *after* all the libraries is probably not what you want.
Also, you'll need the .c file to be inspected *before* the libraries, or
you will likely get "unresolved symbol" errors.

So, I'd try,

cc --static -o base-static base-static.c  `pkg-config --libs --cflags
gtk+-2.0`

If you're not using gcc, check the man page (man cc, or whatever) to
see if it's -static, --static, -Bstatic, or whatever.  You can also
use, man gcc, for that matter.  You can intermix -static and -dynamic
options to change the way you link to specific libraries --
cc .... -dynamic -lxxx -static ....

(how many people does it take to compile a lightbulb?)
