I believe the problem is caused by cross-lib dependencies and culprit is this:
functions.prf: defineTest(linkAgainstLibrary)
        mac {
            LIBS += -Wl,-force_load,$${path}$${QMAKE_DIR_SEP}lib$${target}.a
        } else:win32-msvc*|wince*|win32-icc {
            LIBS += /OPT:REF -l$$target
        } else {
            LIBS += -Wl,-whole-archive -l$$target -Wl,-no-whole-archive
        }

Seems to me that for win we don't specify that we need the whole static library. I guess the force_static_libs_as_shared CONFIG switch would fix the build, but it's not for production builds. We need the appropriate linker option for MSVC.
