If the static library for GMP (or any other library you configure
Emacs to link against) is not available, using -static is bound to
fail.
The script you mention is for preparing the Emacs binaries that we
offer on the GNU FTP site, it is not the officially recommended way of
building Emacs for your own use. AFAIR, we use -static to avoid the
dependency on pthreads or something. Maybe that problem no longer
exists?
And I'm not sure I understand why MSYS2 no longer provides a static
library for GMP, maybe ask them to reconsider?
