When linking an application against static libraries distributed with gstreamer the link fails due to unresolved external symbols "mempcpy", "tsearch" and "__mingw_vfprintf" among others, which definitions can't be found in the set of 
static libarary files distributed with gstreamer.

1>libintl.a(localealias.o) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol mempcpy
1>libintl.a(dcigettext.o) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol tsearch referenced in function libintl_dcigettext
1>libintl.a(loadmsgcat.o) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol open referenced in function _nl_load_domain
1>libintl.a(log.o) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __mingw_vfprintf referenced in function fprintf
