As reported in the forum

  http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?117,152134,152134

the static embedded library has lots of unresolved symbols.

How to repeat:
Try link with the library using a test program, compiling like

  cl /MT -Iinclude -D_WINDOWS test.c \ 
    /link Embedded/static/release/mysqlserver.lib \ 
    Embedded/static/release/mysqlserver.lib \ 
    user32.lib wsock32.lib advapi32.lib /nologo /subsystem:console

The test program just containing some of the API function.

Suggested fix:
The problem is with "mysqldemb", that is supposed to hold the
part of the other libraries during build doesn't contain to
form the static embedded library. The project file for this
library is seriously outdated.

  mysqldemb.vcproj:
    Added lots of missing files to make "mysqlserver.lib" complete (bug#29007)
  mysql.sln:
    Let 'mysqlserver' project also depend on 'vio', else "vio.lib" will
    not be linked into the "mysqlserver.lib" static embedded lib (bug#29007)

Both fixes are contained in the 4.1.23 build.

Versions 5.0 and up are not affected by this bug, 
because there we use "cmake" to control the build.

The mysqlserver.lib library on Windows had many missing symbols.
