That's the right library. It must have had an SFN like libstd~1.a instead
of libstdcx.a. Windows shouldn't by default use the damn ~1's unless
there's an SFN name clash. Instead to make it get this behavior you need to
muck with the registry and change a key that isn't documented by Microsoft,
and then it has the bug that sometimes if you have a file with an LFN and a
particular SFN, and then you go to create a new file with a name that's the
first file's SFN, it will go to overwrite instead of give the new file an
LFN of the name you chose and an SFN with the ~1 ending like it should.

If you unzip the JDK from Sun for example, a foobarbz_small.gif extracts,
then a foobarbz.gif extracts and overwrites the first instead of coming out
with the SFN foobar~1.gif... and this happens several times.
