I'm pondering static linking GTKmm as well, again because there's no stable C++ ABI on Linux yet.

I thought that in general this was a C++ design choice.

If everything was built with gcc, then all might be better, but since different compilers from different vendors (Sun, gcc, MSVC, Borland...) come into play, C++ was intended to be incompatible in this regard. That's long been a reason for favoring C API's over C++.

Have they finally cleaned up that mess, especially on Windows?
