The builds I am responsible for include it because someone reported an issue and was persistent and helpful enough that I fixed it for them.
That said, until MinGW agrees on a stable branch/version/fork, there seems to be a good chance that the shipped lib won't work for some people. If this is what's happened here, I see it as a good enough reason to stop shipping the lib and to add instructions on generating it instead (the gendef/dlltool dance).
Cheers, Steve

Do you get the same failure when using distutils to build the extension?
Hmm, I just checked and it seems that only Python 3.5 ships libpythonXY.a by default - 3.4 and earlier (at least on my machine) don't have it. Presumably you generated it yourself for the previous versions?
So I wonder if this is a difference between how you built your version previously and how the shipped version is now built. The code to build the shipped version is in Tools\msi\dev\dev.wixproj. It runs
gendef - "$(BuildPath)$(PyDllName).dll" >"$(IntermediateOutputPath)mingwlib.def" dlltool --dllname $(PyDllName).dll --def "$(IntermediateOutputPath)mingwlib.def" --output-lib "$(BuildPath)lib$(PyDllName).a" -m $(_GenDefPlatform)
which looks OK to me (_GenDefPlatform is i386 on 32-bit and i386:x86-64 on 64-bit).
