Hi. If you have both static and shared libraries you link with than you
can choose to link with static one (shared are default iirc) by
specifying -static flag for linker. In you case configure should be:

./configure --disable-cli --enable-shared --extra-ldflags="-Wl,-static -Wl,--output-def=libx264.def"

But I am not sure this will help with libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll dependecy. I
would recommend to download MinGW-W64 version that doesn't depend on
such things by default (like the one from
http://komisar.gin.by/mingw/index.html or http://files.1f0.de/mingw/)
