Generally it is demanded that any built DLLs only depend on DLLs (for 
obvious reasons such as duplicate symbols and intermixing of code 
types) but in the past there have been certain exceptions.  For 
example, in the MinGW build, the C++ standard library did not support 
throwing exceptions out of a DLL so it was built as static.  In that 
case libstdc++ was treated as a special case.  At least that is how I 
remember it.
