You must decide whether or not you want to use long filenames.  If 
you do, either set LFN=Y in your environment (i.e. in autoexec.bat) 
or change the setting in djgpp.env.  I think the latter isn't 
recommended.  Then always use a Windows unzip program, so that all 
long filenames in the ZIP files are preserved.

If you don't want long filenames, use a DOS unzip program so that the 
filnames are not preserved, and set LFN=N instead.

If you unzip with the wrong type of unzip program you'll need to
rename files that are now wrong; e.g. "ren libstdcxx.a libstdcx.a" to
shorten the filename (if you used a Windows unzip program and don't
want the LFNs), or "ren libstdcx.a libstdcxx.a" to lengthen it (if
you used a DOS unzip program but still want to use LFNs).
