Simply as confirmation, --pkg-config-flags="--static" is all that's
necessary.  My entire cross-compilation dependency chain
for FFmpeg and mpv is fully static, and using pkg-config-flags
to inject --static makes static builds of x265 link just fine.

Windows just happens to make the issue more visible since
fully static builds are so common there.  It's also needed for
SDL, librtmp, libmodplug, libschroedinger, and fontconfig to
link statically.
