Pcre static library

hi again,

Pcre package only has libpcre.dll.a (no libpcre.a). can i build a program that
links statically to Pcre? i tried to compile pcredemo.c and it ran fine with
dynamic linking. however, when i tried to compile statically with:

$ gcc -static pcredemo.c -o pcredemo -I/c/Program\ Files/GnuWin32/include/
-L/c/Program\ Files/GnuWin32/lib/ -lpcre

i got these errors:
C:/DOCUME~1/x/LOCALS~1/Temp/cc0qfaaa.o:pcredemo.c:(.text+0x1d5): undefined
reference to `_imp__pcre_free'
C:/DOCUME~1/x/LOCALS~1/Temp/cc0qfaaa.o:pcredemo.c:(.text+0x407): undefined
