Too many symbols

Friends
I'm getting the dreaded "Too many symbols in DLL" problem on Windows (see below).
I believe I can get round it by using static linking only, yes?  But how do I do that?  I have

DYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT   = NO

DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS = NO
in my validate.mk, but it still happens.  Static only will do me fine!
Thanks!
Simon
