You must have done two things:

 1) Unzipped the C++ libraries with an unzip program that understands
long filenames.
 2) SET LFN=Y in your environment (or changed the setting in djgpp.env).

The default setting of LFN=N in 'djgpp.env' causes DJGPP programs to
_not_ use long filenames even if they are available.  Since
'libstdcxx.a' has a 9 character filename, you must have LFNs on for
DJGPP to find it.

There's a third alternative:  see chapter 8.2 of the FAQ to learn how to
disable Windows 95's automatic use of numeric tails for long filenames. 
You'll have to reunzip all DJGPP programs to take advantage of it.
