Error is because is request static linking for application but objects 
are build for dynamic linking.

Configure script for mingw* host forces static linking of application 
(It seems to me by mistake enable_static_linking is set to yes when 
shared lib hack is removed).

Lets set following snippet in script:
.....
AC_ARG_ENABLE(static_linking,   [  --enable-static-linking enable static 
linking (no)])
if test "z$enable_static_linking" = "zyes" ; then
     XMLSEC_STATIC_BINARIES="-static"
     AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)
else
     AC_MSG_RESULT(no)
fi
.....

Linker flag -static requires some compilation magic : to set in 
XMLSEC_APP_DEFINES preprocessor flags for static builds as is written in 
documentation for instance 
https://www.aleksey.com/xmlsec/api/xmlsec-notes-compiling-windows.html .

So correction should be like this
.....
     XMLSEC_STATIC_BINARIES="-static"
     XMLSEC_APP_DEFINES="$XMLSEC_APP_DEFINES -DXMLSEC_STATIC 
-DLIBXSLT_STATIC -DLIBXML_STATIC"
....

Also created static libraries has to be checked for "zero import symbols".
