I use mingw from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/host-windows/releases/4.7.2/32-bit/threads-posix/sjlj/x32-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev2.7z/download
And I've sucessfully managed to link statically libstdc++-6.dll and libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll by using -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ parameters, but I cannot find a command for doing the same with libwinpthread-1.dll.

You can't statically link a DLL, only a LIB. DLLs are self contained and have static members and DllMain load/unload dependencies that means they cannot be split into containing functions and linked into a different executable. You should create an installer that deploys all the appropriate dlls, as needed.
Most of the sources online state that you can statically link glibc, but discourage from doing so; e.g. centos package repo: The glibc-static package contains the C library static libraries for -static linking. You don't need these, unless you link statically, which is highly discouraged.
If your toolchain includes the static winpthreads, adding the option
-static Will pull in static versions of all libraries it can.
Alternatively, you can remove libwinpthread.dll.a and the DLL itself from the toolchain directories. This might mess up programs linking with libstdc++ and libgcc DLLs though, so be careful.
A third option is to use -Wl,-Bdynamic and -Wl,-Bstatic to select which version you want linked in (which is what -static internally does when ld is called). An example:
gcc -o someexec someobject.o -Wl,-Bdynamic -lsomelibIwantshared -Wl,-Bstatic -lsomelibIwantstatic If you run your link command with -v added, you should see these options appearing in the ld/collect2 invocation when you use -static-libgcc and -static-libstdc++.

Try this:
-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -Wl,-Bstatic -lstdc++ -lpthread -Wl,-Bdynamic Notice the -lstdc++ before -lpthread. It worked for me.
Make sure to add this to the very end of your g++ command line.
