It doesn't link because of [templ.expl.spec]:
An explicit specialization of a static data member of a template is a
definition if the declaration includes an initializer; otherwise, it
is a declaration. [Note: there is no syntax for the definition of a
static data member of a template that requires default initialization.
template<> X Q<int>::x;
This is a declaration regardless of whether X can be default initial-
ized (_dcl.init_). ]
You must provide the initializer, e.g.
template<> int ObjectPool<char>::mutex = 0;
