The following example specifies STATIC_STDCPLUS=yes, but shows that the unintended libwinpthread-1.dll is linked.

$ mingw32-make -C GvimExt -f Make_ming.mak STATIC_STDCPLUS=yes clean all && ( dumpbin -imports GvimExt/gvimext.dll | grep -i dll )
mingw32-make: Entering directory 'D:/home/...(snipped).../vim/src/GvimExt'
rm -f  gvimext.o gvimext.res gvimext.dll
g++ -O2 -DFEAT_GETTEXT -DWINVER=0x0601 -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0601 -c gvimext.cpp -o gvimext.o
windres  --input-format=rc --output-format=coff -DMING gvimext_ming.rc -o gvimext.res
g++ -shared -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -O2 -s -o gvimext.dll \
        -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base \
        -Wl,--enable-auto-import \
        -Wl,--whole-archive \
                gvimext.o gvimext.res gvimext_ming.def \
        -Wl,--no-whole-archive \
                -luuid -lgdi32

Applying this patch will result in the following result, and the MINGW-derived DLL will not be linked.
Note that the linking options added by this patch are -Wl,-Bstatic -lstdc++ -lgcc -lgcc_eh -lwinpthread -Wl,-Bdynamic.

$ mingw32-make -C GvimExt -f Make_ming.mak STATIC_STDCPLUS=yes clean all && ( dumpbin -imports GvimExt/gvimext.dll | grep -i dll )
