The last line is not true.  NT provides long file names to itself, but
not to DJGPP programs.  See section 3.3 of the FAQ for more details.

The upshot of this is that you need to unzip your installation on NT
with a DOS unzip program that truncates the long names of the unzipped
files.  Otherwise, you will have a terrible mess on your hands; the
problem with -lstdcxx is only a tip of the iceberg.
