Now I see the difference. I am taking the more "typical" way of
using MinGW. I copy the libraries (.dll.a and .a) file to the
MinGW lib directory and the include (.h) file to the MinGW
include directory. In this more "typical" way, the default
will be using dynamic linking. Only when you specifically
use -l\full-path-to\libusb-1.0.a, ld will use static linking.

But occasionally I forgot to put the dll.a file because
your binary snapshots put the dll.a import library in
the dll directory. I would suggest you put them to
put in the lib directory.
