I'm glad you were finally able to solve your problem.

Mingw-cross-env tries to be feature complete, because we don't have
the manpower to test all possible combinations of activated/deactivated
libraries.

In addition, the main goal of static linking is the simpler handling
and deployment. It is _not_ about reducing the code size to a minimum,
although that's a welcome side-effect.

Having that said, feel free to change the src/sdl_image.mk according
to your needs. Just remove or change the corresponding ./configure
options. But be aware that you're on your own if you do that.

If you really care about minimizing your code size, you should use
libpng directly, without sdl_image. In addition, you could use UPX
to compress your executable. You might also change the compiler
options of your code and the libraries from "-O2" to "-Os". Also,
you might want to use Forth instead of C/C++. ;-)
