Comment (by Hello71):

 I used MXE following the instructions from #26376. I did not pass
 --enable-static-anything, firstly because I didn't realize those options
 existed, and secondly, I figure CC=i686-w64-mingw32.static-gcc ought to do
 everything automatically.

 I agree about TOR_LIB_ZLIB being inconsistent though. Personally I still
 like the idea of using pkg-config for everything, so I posted my idea for
 that in #6311.

 This isn't a big rush, nor is it critical, so if you (pl) decide to accept
 my plan in #6311, we can just do step 1 at some point and obsolete this
 (because the old logic wasn't working here anyways).
