There is no global statically vs. dynamically link. The compiler will link
against static or dynamic libraries depending on what it finds. It's
perfectly OK to have static library for something and dynamic for
something else (GLib only installs dynamic version by default) in one
program. You don't need to tell compiler anything special either -- the
-llibrary option makes it look for both dynamic and static variant and use
whichever is available.

On whindows you need to have everything compiled against the same variant
of standard runtime (static vs. dynamic) though and you need to tell the C
compiler (/MT, /MD), not only the linker.
