The error message would be the same if I add them. The actual problem
is linking order. Namely,

  $ g++ -static -lboost_iostreams -lz -lbz2 test.cpp

fails, and

  $ g++ -static test.cpp -lboost_iostreams -lz -lbz2

succeeds. Why did

  $ g++ -shared -lboost_iostream -lz -lbz2 test.cpp

succeed is beyond me.

Anyway, linking under mingw still fails.
