Actually, while that did "fix" the problem, it wasn't the way to do it.

MSYS2 provides both ".a" (static) and ".dll.a" (import) libraries for most, 
if not all, of the gtk3 libraries.

My build was trying was linking to some of the static libraries.
When I hid those static libraries, the build succeeded straight out of the 
box - except that the test libraries did not build because of the error I 
reported earlier.
