The Visual Studio notion of linking statically just means you link
statically to the C Runtime. You still need system DLLs (KERNEL32, USER32,
etc) to be dynamically loaded in order to make system calls. In CE, the C
Runtime and most of the supported Win32 API are in COREDLL, so you might as
well link to that and be done with it.

There is a static version of the C Runtime call FULLLIBC.LIB, but that is
not available in SDKs. Only OEMs can use it. Again, though, even an
application that links to a static C Runtime would still have to use
COREDLL to do system calls.
