MS-DOS 7 does not support long file names such as
l i b s t d c x x . a
libstdcxx.a is a 9.1 file name, and DOS 7 supports file names longer
than 8.3 if and only if Sindows 9x is loaded or if a long filename driver
is loaded.

To "quick and dirty fix" this problem, rename libstdcxx.a to libstdcx.a;
it will be more compatible with good old DOS.

It seems that questions about long file names come up frequently
enough to be placed on the Mini-FAQ.
