Static linking not working with features such as ttf or image

[mario-hess]

I need to include the sdl2 library and the features ttf and image in my executable.
Guided by the readme, I used the static-link feature and either the bundled, or use-pkgconfig.
Using it with use-pkgconfig, it does not work, the library files are not included in the executable (bug?).
Using it with bundled, it errors out. Error:

error: linking with `cc` failed: exit status: 1

Is there any way to statically link sdl2 with ttf and image feature?

[Cobrand]

For bundled, it's not currently supported with ttf, image, gfx, mixer.

For static-link with those, I do not remember whether it was supported or not, but probably not. Pull requests are always welcome, be it either for documentation or anything build process related.
