Jay,

For whatever reason it would appear that nothing is working right.  If
you are including libgdal.a you should be getting all of these.
Depending on how you build you will also like need
gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/ogrsf_frmts.a, but that doesn't explain the problem.

However, in my opinion it is a bad idea to try and statically link GDAL.
Any particular reason you are trying to?

Best regards,
