(Mine isn't, but I'm using a different MinGW flavor.) Well, my records tell me that I have used "-static" since Emacs-25.1 which is the first version with a 64bit build, and the first version I built. I cannot find any discussion about this on the mailing list other than this: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-11/msg00271.html which just shows my failing memory and a different problem. Anyway, I just tried a build without it on an Emacs-28 snapshot. Emacs fails to launch with an "libgmp-10.dll is missing" error. I am happy if someone wants to work out how to remove "-static" from the build files, but I have neither the time nor expertise. Phil
