Windows regression.
When linking with libstdc++ which is static library.

libtool-2.2.6b - complains but creates a shared library.
libtool-2.2.7b - complains and does not create a shared library.

Why linking with libstdc++? One of the static archives uses C++.
Why not use CXX? As the sources are C only.
